From the given the statement, "every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets" is a basic principle of improvement.
Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
The improvement activity begins with the quote ‘every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets’, by W. Edwards Deming; The quote states both the unintended and intended effects are designed into our systems.
For example: Healthcare in the UK has been perfectly designed to lower the waiting times to 18 weeks for various procedures over last twelve years. Reflecting on Safer Patients Initiative (SPI), this can be true to improvement systems: every improvement system is perfectly designed to get the results its gets and SPI is a case in point.
The leading improvements that need to be designed into our improvement systems:
- Improvement activity needs to be built on strong foundations
- Greater engagement with people’s intrinsic motivation
- Embrace a wider set of methods
- Greater understanding of how systems and processes outside direct clinical care contribute to safety and quality.
So, it can be concluded that the line given by W. Edwards Deming tends to be the principle of improvement.
Answer:
The solution code is written in Python 3
- import random
- import string
-
- def simulate_several_key_strikes(l):
- char_set = string.ascii_lowercase
- return ''.join(random.choice(char_set) for i in range(l))
-
- print (simulate_several_key_strikes(10))
Explanation:
The program is aimed to generate random characters and the number of characters generated is dependent on user input. Hence, we will need to import the random module (Line 1). We also import string module so that we can make use of its associated method to generate English letters (Line 2)
Next, we create the function simulate_several_key_strikes that takes one single parameter, l, as input. Within the function body, we use ascii_lowercase method to generate the lowercase letter set and assign it to char_set variable (Line 5). We use random.choice method to randomly pick one of the letter in char_set and join it with an empty string (Line 6). Please note there is a for-loop that will repeatedly generate l-number of character and eventually return it as output.
We test the function by passing 10 as input parameter and we shall get a sample output as follows:
