Data and Statistics Concepts
Six Sigma

 Nature of Data – Measurement vs. Count Data
 Single Point Measures of Performance
•Central Tendency
•Variability

Central Tendency
Measure
Mean
Description & Use
The Average of a set of numbers. The most commonly used measure of
the data’s center.
Remember, when you calculate an average, about half of the raw data
will be above and half will be below the average - this does not translate
into one half good and one half bad!!
Median
The midpoint of a set of numbers placed in rank order.
The median is a preferred measure of the data's center when there are
very large or small values, i.e. when the data is skewed.
Mode
The most frequently appearing number(s) in a set of data. Useful when
data displays wide variation, perhaps due to mixed processes.

where:
 is the symbol for "sum of"
n is the number of data, and
xi are the data values
for an odd number of data:

for an even number of data:

Variability
Measure
Range
Description & Use
The difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.
Variance
The sum of the squared differences of the data from the mean, divided
by the number of data less one. Forms the basis for the standard
deviation.
Standard
Deviation
The square root of the variance. This is the “best” measure of variability,
since it considers all the data from the sample. The Standard Deviation
can be thought of as a “distance” measure - showing how far the data are
away from the mean value.

Line Graphs
Six Sigma
Green Belt
1. Draw a vertical and a horizontal axis on a piece of graph paper.
2. Label the vertical axis with the variable being plotted.
3. Label the horizontal axis with the unit of time or order in which the
numbers were collected (i.e. Day 1, 2, 3, . . ., Customer 1, 2, 3, . . .
etc.).
4. Determine the scale of the vertical axis. The top of this axis should be
about 20 percent larger than the largest data value. The bottom of this
axis should be about 20 percent lower than the smallest data value.
This let’s you see the best picture of the process’ variability. Label the
axis in convenient intervals between these numbers.
5. Plot the data values on the graph number by number, preserving the
order in which they occurred.
6. Connect the points on the graph.
7. (Optional) Calculate the mean of the data and draw this as a solid line
through the data. This turns the line graph into a run chart - trends
and patterns are often easier to see with a run chart.

Decisions in the Face of Variation
Six Sigma
Green Belt
Correct Decisions:
1. Only Common Cause Variation Present
2. Common and Assignable Cause Variation
Present
Errors:
1. Just Common Cause Variation Present – NOT!
2. Assignable Cause Variation Present – NOT!

Chart Comparison
Six Sigma
Green Belt
Chart
Line Graph
Advantages
Makes trends and data variation over time easy to
track. Good for highlighting changes in some
variable. Can be used to track more than one
variable at a time.
Disadvantages
Can lead to “overreaction” to changes that aren’t
really there. Control charts are the best tools for
studying variation.
Bar Chart
Good for comparing one category to another. Many
different styles can be constructed (stacked bar, “3dimensional” bar chart, etc.) Easy to construct.
Sometimes inappropriately used for tracking data
over time. Similar danger to overreaction as line
graph.
Pie Chart
