QDD Redux Ep. 4: Statistical vs. Practical Significance
Description
In this special episode of Quality during Design Redux, we're pulling episodes from our archive about test results analysis.
In our Season 1 - Episode 93 titled "The Fundamental Thing to Know from Statistics for Design Engineering", we talked about hypothesis testing: how it is used for lots of data analysis techniques.
The next 4 episodes of this QDD Redux are taking the next steps.

When we’re looking at results (like measures of a characteristic), we need to take care not to get too hung-up on what the statistics is trying to tell us. Yes, statistical tools are a good way for us to make decisions and the results can act as proof for us. But, there’s a practical, engineering side to results, too. We need to evaluate the statistical significance along with the practical significance.
We review an example and how to document it.
