  1. Which type of data is used when counting defects in a product?

    Answer: Attribute data

    Attribute data involves counts such as the number of defects or defective items.

  2. What is the main benefit of using random sampling in SPC?

    Answer: It reduces sampling bias

    Random sampling reduces bias and provides a representative snapshot of the process.

  3. Which chart is best for monitoring continuous measurement data?

    Answer: X-bar chart

    X-bar charts are designed to track the average of variable (measurement) data in subgroups.

  4. What does the term 'bias' refer to in measurement systems?

    Answer: Systematic error from true value

    Bias is the difference between the observed average measurement and the true value.

  5. Which factor impacts the reliability of data interpretation the most?

    Answer: Measurement system quality

    The accuracy and precision of the measurement system directly impact how reliable data interpretation is.

  6. What is the purpose of a Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA)?

    Answer: To assess measurement system performance

    MSA evaluates the accuracy, precision, and stability of a measurement system used in data collection.
