This is the last week of cramming for the Lean Six Sigma exam on Saturday morning. I have been using an Exam CD with 1,000 example questions from previous exams, such as: “The shift supervisor smokes Camels, the press operator is changing her tampon. Venus is in Ares, Jupiter is in Taurus. What will the variance be on the third Thursday after the next Lent moon?”
OK, I exaggerate, but not by much. An actual question:
“An experiment yielded the following equation: Y=14.0 + 12.7 X1 + 16.1 X2 + 9.8 X2 + 6.4 X1 X2 What CANNOT be said about the response surface?” (Answer: It contains more than a 3-D picture.) I am not optimistic about my probability for success.
Not too many of us left in the LSS Advanced Topics class, as we near the finish line:
Some people, like Dan the math major here, are unflappable and permanently good humored. He seems to have a definite leg up:
Meanwhile, the rest of us are struggling along:
Seriously, I don’t know how people can work their butts off for a full shift, then come and sit for three hours of stats. No matter how competent, comely or charming the instructor, this is truly a tall order. If I were still writing 30,000 word narrative reports, there is NO WAY I could have kept up with the work.
