Use data in column “ppm VOC” 3.Are we on Target?

2. © Open Source Six Sigma, LLCOSSS LSS Black Belt v10.0 - Analyze Phase 2 1-Sample t Exercise: Solution Since we do not know the population Standard Deviation, we will use the 1 sample T test to determine if we are at Target.

3. © Open Source Six Sigma, LLCOSSS LSS Black Belt v10.0 - Analyze Phase 3 1-Sample t Exercise: Solution After selecting column C1 and setting “Test mean” to 32.0, click “Graphs…” and select “Histogram of data” to get a good visualization of the analysis. Depending on the test you are running you may need to select “Options…” to set your desired Confidence Interval and hypothesis. In this case the MINITAB TM defaults are what we want.

Because the null hypothesis is within the confidence level, you know we will “fail to reject” the null hypothesis and accept the equipment is running at the target of 32.0.

Because it is above 0.05, we “fail to reject” the null hypothesis so we accept the equipment is giving product at a target of 32.0 ppm VOC.
