Chapter 10. Probability

What you will learn in this chapter of the book is to let data drive problem solving. However, to interpret data, you need to make a judgment as to whether unusual results were due to random cause, like someone who flips a coin and gets an excessive number of heads by chance, or due to an assignable cause, like the coin having two heads. A knowledge of probability helps you make this determination with a minimum number of samples.

Much Six Sigma work can't be done without some understanding of probability statistics. Probability can be used in all the steps of DMAIC. You will be able to use these techniques to solve many problems in the work-place without using additional tools.
