As you embark on your journey towards mastering statistical concepts for quality certification exams, having the right tools at your disposal is crucial. This is where our Summary Sheets come into play, offering a streamlined approach to understanding and memorizing key statistical formulas and concepts. From the basics like Mean, Median, and Mode to more complex topics such as Sample Variance, Standard Deviation, and Quartiles, our Summary Sheets distill essential information into a format that’s easy to grasp and recall.
Each concept is presented in a clear, concise manner, focusing on the formulae and their practical applications. For instance, understanding the nuances of Sample Variance versus Population Variance or interpreting the significance of Skewness and Kurtosis in a dataset becomes more manageable with our intuitive layout. Furthermore, concepts like the Interquartile Range and the Coefficient of Variation are simplified to enhance your analytical skills, which are vital for quality management and Six Sigma methodologies.
These sheets are not just about aiding memorization; they are designed to deepen your understanding of statistical concepts, ensuring that you are well-prepared not just for exams, but for practical, real-world application in the field of quality management. Whether you’re a student, a professional gearing up for a certification, or a seasoned expert brushing up on your skills, these Summary Sheets are an invaluable resource for efficient, effective learning.
We invite you to explore our collection of Summary Sheets books (coming soon!), tailored specifically for exam preparation. These resources are crafted to give you a competitive edge, ensuring you're well-equipped to tackle exam challenges and excel in your professional career.

| Statistic | Formula |
|---|---|
| Mean | Mean (x̄) = Σxi / n |
| Median | Middle value in an ordered dataset. |
| Mode | The most frequent value in the dataset. |
| Sample Variance | s² = Σ(xi – Mean)² / (n-1) |
| Sample Standard Deviation | s = √[Σ(xi – Mean)² / (n-1)] |
| Population Variance | σ² = Σ(xi – μ)² / N |
| Population Standard Deviation | σ = √[Σ(xi – μ)² / N] |
| Range | Maximum value – Minimum value |
| Moving Range | Difference between consecutive observations. |
| Percentile | Value below which a given percentage of observations falls. |
| Quartile | Specific percentiles – 25th (Q1), 50th (Q2), and 75th (Q3). |
| Interquartile Range (IQR) | IQR = Q3 – Q1. Measure of statistical dispersion. |
| Quantile | Generalization of percentiles; divides data into intervals with equal probabilities. |
| Coefficient of Variation | CV = (s / Mean) × 100%. Measures variability relative to the mean. |
| Skewness | Measure of asymmetry of the probability distribution. |
| Kurtosis | Measure of the ‘tailedness’ of the probability distribution. |
