Sometimes you want to be able to compare two processes or products and learn something about their quality using statistics alone. Healthcare research often uses these tools to compare the effects of two or more medications or protocols. Six Sigma practitioners can use these tools to compare performance before and after an improvement to verify its effectiveness. This falls under the category of something known as hypothesis testing.
