Question #1: When following the robust design approach, in which step do we establishe
specific values for design parameters related to physical and functional specifications?
Incorrect
Your Answer:  
Correct Answer:  
 Parameter design
All Possible Answers:
 Concept design
 System design
 Parameter design
 Feature design
Explanation:  The second step of the robust design approach, parameter design, establishes specific values
for design parameters related to physical and functional specifications. Robust parameter designs seek to
minimize the effects of noise factors on quality.

Explanation. Also see Design for Six Sigma notes here.

Question #3: What is the probability of drawing an Ace OR Red card from a standard 52 card
deck?
Incorrect
Your Answer:  
Correct Answer:  
 7/13
All Possible Answers:
 26/52
 4/52
 8/52
 7/13
Explanation:  There are 4 types (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades) of Ace cards and 26 red cards in a
standard 52 card deck.
P(Ace) = 4/52
P(Red) =26/52 (Hearts or Diamonds)
Probability of getting both an Ace and a Red card is P(Ace and Red) = 2/52
P(Ace or Red) = P(Ace)+P(Red) – P(Ace and Red) = 4/52+26/52-2/52 = 28/52=7/13

Your Answer:  
Correct Answer:  
 Any of the above
All Possible Answers:
 Changeover time
 Number of Shifts
 Uptime
 Any of the above
Explanation:  Answer: D. Any of the above, The data box is used with other icons and signifies the need
for the analysis of the significant information and data. The data box could also include data such cycle
time, % yield, etc. See Value Stream mapping symbols and value stream map.
