Suppose is a random sample of size
from a normal distribution with mean
and standar deviation
Using the summary statistics
and
a tolerance interval
may be constructed to capture
of the population with probability
The following procedures may be used.
1. Two-sided tolerance interval: A tolerance interval that captures
of the population has as endpoints
2. One-sided tolerance interval, upper tailed: A tolerance interval bounded below has
3. One-sided tolerance interval, lower tailed: A tolerance interval bounded above has
where is the tolerance factor given in section 7.3.1 and
is computed using the formula below.
Values of are given in section 7.3.1 for
and various values of
The value of is given by
where and
are critical values for a standard normal random variable (see page 175).
