Questions and Answers Rated A
Z-Score ✔✔Data points only. Measurement of a scores relationship to the mean. A statistical
measure that indicates the number of standard deviations a data point is from its mean.
Variance ✔✔How far a set of numbers are spread. Used for Data set. Hint Words = Risk, spread.
Multiplication Rule ✔✔A method for finding the probability that both of two events occur. When
the probabilities of multiple events are multiplied together to determine the likelihood of all of the
events happening. Word Hint: And
Addition Rule ✔✔A method for finding the probability that either or both of two events occur.
When two events, A and B, are mutually exclusive, the probability that A or B will occur is the
sum of the probability of each event. Word Hint: Either/or.
Combination Rule ✔✔How many combinations can be made.
Bayes Theorem ✔✔Probability of an event , based on conditions that might be related to the event.
Conditional probability. A formula that calculates conditional probabilities. Important for
understanding how new information affects the probabilities of outcomes. Word Hint: Given that.
Median ✔✔Number halfway into the data set. Hint Word: Typical
Mode ✔✔Number that occurs most often in a data set.
Mean ✔✔Average. Add all numbers and divide.
Standard Deviation ✔✔How spread out the numbers are. Square root of the variance.
Pareto Chart ✔✔Contains both line and bar graphs. Ordered by frequency of occurrence that shows
how many results were generated by each identified cause.
Cause and Effect Diagram ✔✔Shows the causes of a specific event.
Check Sheet ✔✔Collect data in real time.
Control Chart ✔✔Determines whether a process should undergo a formal exam for quality.
Histogram ✔✔Graph representing the distribution of numeric data. Measures how continuous data
is distributed over various ranges. Example: Displays how many people fall in various ranges of
height.
Scatter Diagram ✔✔A graphic that uses dots to show relationships or correlations between
variables
Flow/Run Chart ✔✔Shows the workflow process
Bar Chart ✔✔Graph of schedule-related info. Example: Measures how many people are from each
state.
Box - Plot ✔✔Used while studying the composition of a data set to examine the distribution (non
- parametric data) uses median and percentiles rather than averages. (Look for Spread and Median.)
Dependent Variable ✔✔Dependent upon the Independent variable
Independent Variable ✔✔Variable the drives the
