❑ Y is a dependent variable
❑ X is an independent variable
❑ Variables have scale
❑ Scale is made relative to standards
❑ Standards can be quantified
❑ Quantities are stated in numerical form
❑ Data can be interrogated with statistics
❑ Statistics provides insight and direction
❑ Direction is the highway to beneficial change

The Perpetual Chain of Causation

B = f(S) Business = f(Satisfaction)


S = f(V) Satisfaction = f(Variation)
V = f(,) Variation =f(Mean, StDev)
 = f( X1, X2, ....Xn)
 = f( X1, X2, ....Xn)
