1. Process Analysis is a function of:
   1. Performance Analysis
   2. Quality Metrics
   3. Process Improvement Plan
   4. Quality Improvement Plan
   CORRECT: C. A is incorrect as it relates to performing measurements to present performance. B is incorrect as it relates to the specific measurements that shall be performed on the project work in order to measure quality. C is correct because process analysis
2. Root Cause Analysis relates to:
   1. Process Analysis
   2. Quality Audits
   3. Quality Control Measurements
   4. Performance Measurements
   CORRECT: A. The option B is incorrect because a Quality Audit is to identify inefficiencies, non-compliance in project activities. It does not necessarily identify the root cause.
3. Trend Analysis is often performed using:
   1. Cause and Effect Diagram
   2. Control Charts
   3. Pareto Chart
   4. Run Chart
   CORRECT: D. Run Chart shows the past pattern of variation. Trend Analysis involves forecasting the future trend based on past performance.
4. A Pareto diagram can be best described as:
   1. Cause and Effect Diagram
   2. Scatter Chart
   3. Control Chart
   4. Histogram
   CORRECT: D. Note that Pareto diagram is not the best tool for root-cause analysis. It mainly helps the project management team to quantify and categories the defects/issues according to sources (e.g. engineering defects, acoustic defects, setup problems, etc)
5. A planning phase for an engineering component generated 80 engineering drawings. The QA team randomly selected 8 drawings for inspection. This exercise can BEST be described as example of:
   1. Inspection
   2. Statistical Sampling
   3. Flowcharting
   4. Control Charting
   CORRECT: B. "Inspection” is what the team is doing on individual drawings; however, the entire exercise of random selection and inspecting a work product is known as “Statistical Sampling”
