What is Central Limit Theorem? The Central Limit Theorem is one of the fundamental theorems of probability theory. It states a condition under which the mean of a large number of independent and identically-distributed random variables, each of which has a finite mean and variance, would be approximately normally distributed. Let us assume Y1, Y2…

Multi Vari Analysis with Minitab

What is Multi Vari Analysis? Multi Vari analysis is a graphic-driven method to analyze the effects of categorical inputs on a continuous output. It studies how the variation in the output changes across different inputs and helps us quantitatively determine the major source of variability in the output. Multi-Vari charts are used to visualize the…

Variable Gage R&R with Minitab

What is Variable Gage R&R? Whenever something is measured repeatedly or by different people or processes, the results of the measurements will vary. Variation comes from two primary sources: [unordered_list style=”star”] Differences between the parts being measured The measurement system [/unordered_list] We can use a variable Gage R&R to conduct a measurement system analysis to…
