What does the sigma symbol mean?
There are three sigma symbols, an upper case, a lower case and an end of the sentence case. The capital letter case is used as summation. The lower case is used to represent variance in statistics. The lower case is also used to represent stress in mechanics and physics. The end of sentence case is generally not used. Reference link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma.
What does six sigma training mean?
Six-sigma is a quality control program that strives for less than 3.4 defects in a million opportunities; or near perfection. In statistics, sigma represents areas under a bell curve (similar to IQ normal curves). If all defects fall outside the shaded area (outside three sigma on either side, where the center is perfect and all shaded areas are acceptable) there is very little shaded area (defects) left.
What is the formula of finding mean using direct method?
formula for finding mean through direct mean method: sigma fi xi /sigma fi
Why sigma is used in 6 sigma?
sigma represents standard deviation. In a normal distribution, +/- 1 sigma from the mean, for instance, corresponds to approximately 67% of the area under the normal distribution. +/- 2 sigma corrresponds to 95% of the area and +/- 3 sigma from the mean corresponds to 99% of the area under a normal distribution. The area that is covered under +/- six sigma from the mean corresponds to nearly 100% -- that is, the part of the area NOT under that +/- 6 sigma is in the 10^-15 range or 1/1,000,000,000,000,000. The six sigma name borrows from this to suggest that the method gives this degree of certainty: that in 999,999,999,999,999 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 cases the result will be predictable. It does nothing, however, to explain how an agricultural process management methodology applies to other fields.
What are the importance of the mean in statistics?
the mean is important in statistics because you will find out your average and can compare that mean to other things..
What is sigma in statistics?
Since this is regarding statistics I assume you mean lower case sigma (σ) which, in statistics, is the symbol used for standard deviation, and σ2 is known as the variance.
What does the greek capital sigma symbol mean in statistics?
It means the sum total.
Coefficient of Deviation?
Coefficient of deviation (CV) is a term used in statistics. It is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation (sigma) to the mean (mu). The formula for CV is CV=sigma/mu.
In statistics what is summation?
in statistics, summation denoted by upper case sigma, is used to find the sum of a series of observation in a particular variable.
What skills utilizes analytical tools such as statistics forecasting and LEAN Six Sigma?
Quantitive Skills
What is the sign for sigma?
Sigma is a Greek symbol used for many variables in mathematics and science. However, within statistics, the variance is sigma squared and it is always positive. Sigma is used as the standard deviation of a population, and as calculated, it is always equal or greater than 0 (a positive number). However, in discussing errors, one can consider adding or subtracting sigma, ie the error in our experiment is +/- one sigma from the population.

Do qualitative skills include analytical tools such as statistics forecasting risk management and LEAN Six Sigma?
No/FALSE
What does sigma kappa triangle mean?
It's the sorority magazine. Sigma Kappa Triangle.
What is the value of sigma?
Sigma typically means "Total" or "All" It's used often in Statistics equations. So Just as [Delta]T would be "Change in Temperature", [Sigma]T would mean "total temperatures". So if you had 10 temperatures and the total change was 25 degrees C? you could find the average change in T by doing... [Delta]T divided by [Sigma]T. Make more sense, now?

What does theta sigma mean in Greek?
Theta means 't' or 'th' and sigma means 's'.
