The Signal And The Noise Epub Mobi Kindle __LINK__
The fact that that single data point is outside of those control limits, those behavior limits, tells us that there is likely a signal that's worth investigating. There are a number of rules and heuristics that we can use to evaluate if it's just noise or if there's signal, one of those rules being above or below those lines.

Now let's say we've made some other intervention in our system. We've made an improvement to our marketing process. Now we see performance start going like this. This is by our rules and heuristics another signal. Eight consecutive data points above or below the average again triggers us to ask why, that this is unlikely to be just randomness or noise or chance.
If we look at our data and instead of looking at two data points, why's it higher, why's it lower, we look at a chart. We see sure enough it's fluctuating around an average. We calculate that process behavior limit. This tells us everything within those boundaries if none of our rules that indicate a signal are triggered, this is all noise.
If there's not a hypothesis we're testing, we should ask why and make sure we understand why the number of leads started increasing. Because if we don't understand why, there's a risk that it could level off. It could go back to the level of performance we had before. When we start ignoring some of this up and down and the noise and look for signals, we can better focus our energy on improvement.
SNR is the ratio of a given transmitted signal to the background noise on that channel. The RF guidelines specified in the Cisco 7925G Wireless IP Phone Deployment Guide require a minimum SNR of 25 dB (25 = -92 dBm noise level with -67 dBm signal).
The noise floor is a mixture of all of the background RF radiation found in the environment that surrounds the system in use. RF signals must be higher than the noise floor in order to be detectable as a valid, useful signal by a receiver.
In this example, voice services fail in this environment, as there is only one (1) signal strength greater than -67 dBm (with the assumption of a noise floor of -92 dB, which allows for a SNR of 25 dBm).
