Explanation
B (False) is correct because a Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma is typically dedicated 100% full-time to applying LSS methodologies - not 80%. Black Belts are professional change agents who lead complex improvement projects as their primary job function, not as a part-time responsibility alongside other duties.
Why A is wrong: The 80% figure is a common distractor, but it misrepresents the Black Belt role. That level of dedication (around 20-25%) is more characteristic of a Green Belt, who applies LSS tools part-time while maintaining their regular job responsibilities.
Memory tip: Think of belt colors as a commitment spectrum - the darker the belt, the deeper the dedication. A Green Belt is green like a seedling (growing, part-time ~20-25%), while a Black Belt is fully committed, full-time (100%). If you see any percentage less than 100% paired with "Black Belt," that's your signal to choose False.
