Basic Probability and Statistical Distributions in Six Sigma
Overview/Description Target Audience Expected Duration Lesson Objectives Course Number Overview/Description
To make accurate inferences about populations from sample data, you need to be able to determine the probability that an event or a combination of events will occur. You also need to be familiar with the characteristics of various statistical distributions, and their suitability for different types of data. In this course, you'll be introduced to the concept of probability. You'll learn how to calculate probability involving independent events, mutually exclusive events, multiplication rules, permutations, and combinations. You'll also look at different types of distributions, such as normal, Poisson, binomial, Chi-square, Student's t, and F-distributions.
