Statistically Independent
two events are independent, intuitively means that the occurrence of one event makes it
neither more nor less probable that the other occurs. For example:
* The event of getting a 6 the first time a die is rolled and the event of getting a 6 the
second time are independent.
* By contrast, the event of getting a 6 the first time a die is rolled and the event that the
sum of the numbers seen on the first and second trials is 8 are dependent.
* If two cards are drawn with replacement from a deck of cards, the event of drawing a red
card on the first trial and that of drawing a red card on the second trial are independent.
* By contrast, if two cards are drawn without replacement from a deck of cards, the event
of drawing a red card on the first trial and that of drawing a red card on the second trial
are dependent.

The cause and effect diagram relates the effect or the quality problem
to its possible causes. It is used to summarize the results of
brainstorming sessions and to focus the search for the root
cause(s) of the quality problems. The cause and effect diagram
allows various potential causes of the quality problem being
studied to be grouped under selected major categories.
This is also known as: 1. Fishbone Diagram
2. Ishikawa Diagram

Payback Period
The payback period is the time taken to recover the initial cost of the
investment. Projects with shorter payback periods are considered
more attractive than others. This definition is closely linked with the
concept of Break Even Analysis.
