A bakery is analyzing whether cookie diameter varies with vertical position in an oven, between the “bottom rack” and the “top rack”. An experiment was run, with twenty (20) cookies baked in each position. Assume the variance in diameter is equal for both rack positions. Which statistical test should be used to determine whether the mean cookie diameter from the “bottom rack” is the same as the mean cookie diameter from the “top rack”?

A bakery is analyzing whether cookie height varies with the machine that forms the dough round. There are two forming machines. An experiment was run, with twenty (20) cookies from both forming machine. Assume the variance in height is equal for both machines. Which statistical test should be used to determine whether the mean cookie height from Machine 1 is the same as the mean cookie height from Machine 2?

A bakery is analyzing whether cookie diameter varies with baking temperature. An experiment was run, with (20) cookies baked at a “low” temperature and (20) cookies baked at a “high” temperature. Assume the variance in height is equal for both temperatures. Which statistical test should be used to determine whether the mean cookie height from the “low” temperature is the same as the mean cookie height from the “high” temperature?

By the end of the DMAIC Analyze phase, you should

Simple Linear Regression

Two punch presses are used to produce a part for automotive transmissions. Scrap costs for one critical dimension are excessive.To determine whether there is a difference in variability between the two presses, a Six Sigma project team ran a small experiment. The Minitab output for the statistical analysis is shown below. Using a significance level of α = 0.05, the team concludes that:
