Sample standard deviation -- 5. Variances can be added but not standard deviations -- 6. Parts and operators for an MSA do not have to be randomly selected -- 7. %study (% contribution, number of distinct categories) is the best criterion for evaluating a measurement system for process improvement -- 8. Only sigma can compare different processes and metrics -- 9. Capability is not percent/proportion of good units -- 10. p = probability of making an error -- 11. Need more data for discrete data than continuous data analysis -- 12. Nonparametric tests are less powerful than parametric tests -- 13. Sample size of 30 is acceptable (for statistical significance) -- 14. Can only fail to reject Ho, can never accept Ho -- 15. Control limits are +3 standard deviations from the center line -- 16. Control chart limits are empirical limits -- 17. Control chart limits are not probability limits -- 18. +3 sigma limits are the most economical control chart limits -- 19. Statistical inferences are inductive inferences -- 20. There is one universe or population if data are homogeneous -- 21. Control charts are analytic studies -- 22. Control charts are not tests of hypotheses -- 23. Process needs to be stable to calculate process capability -- 24. Specifications don't belong on control charts -- 25. Identify and eliminate assignable or assignable causes of variation -- 26. Process needs to be stable before you can improve it -- 27. Stability (homogeneity) is required to establish a baseline -- 28. A process must be stable to be predictable -- 29. Adjusting a process based on a single defect is tampering, causing increased process
