Q1.A trainee wrote the following descriptions of four experimental design terms.
Which term has been described incorrectly?- A.Factor
- B.Level✓ Correct answer
- C.Response
- D.Treatment combination
Explanation
A level is one of the values a factor is set to, such as 160 degrees or 190 degrees. The description written belongs to a run, which is one execution of a treatment combination, so the entry is wrong. The other three are correct, and the chain worth memorising is that a factor is the variable, a level is one of its values, a treatment combination is one setting of every factor at once, and a run is one execution of that combination.Reference: CSSGB BoK V

Learn from Every Question
This quiz is offered in Review Mode, so you will see the correct answer and a clear explanation immediately after each response.
Each explanation helps you understand:
- Why the correct answer is right
- Which DOE principle or concept is being tested
- Why the other options are less appropriate
- How to interpret common DOE results and plots
- How DOE concepts may appear in a CSSGB-style question
The goal is not simply to check your score. It is to help you understand how designed experiments are planned, conducted, analyzed, and interpreted in Six Sigma improvement projects.
