Suppose X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n is a random sample of size n from a normal distribution with mean \mu and standar deviation \sigma. Using the summary statistics \bar{x} and s, a tolerance interval [L,U] may be constructed to capture 100P\% of the population with probability 1-\alpha. The following procedures may be used.

1. Two-sided tolerance interval: A 100(1-\alpha)\% tolerance interval that captures 100P\% of the population has as endpoints

[L,U] = \bar{x}\pm K_{\alpha,n,P}\cdot s

2. One-sided tolerance interval, upper tailed: A 100(1-\alpha)\% tolerance interval bounded below has

L = \bar{x} - k_{\alpha,n,P}\cdot s \qquad U = \infty

3. One-sided tolerance interval, lower tailed: A 100(1-\alpha)\% tolerance interval bounded above has

L = -\infty \qquad U = \bar{x} + k_{\alpha,n,P} \cdot s

where K_{\alpha,n,P} is the tolerance factor given in section 7.3.1 and k_{\alpha,n,P} is computed using the formula below.

Values of  K_{\alpha,n,P}  are given in section 7.3.1 for P = 0.75, 0.90, 0.95, 0.99, 0.999, \alpha = 0.75, 0.90, 0.95, 0.99, and various values of n.

The value of  k_{\alpha,n,P} is given by

k_{\alpha,n,P} = \frac{z_{1-P} + \sqrt{(z_{1-P})^2-ab}}{a}

a = 1 - \frac{(z_\alpha)^2}{2(n-1)}

b= z_{1-P}^2 - \frac{z_\alpha^2}{n}

where z_{1-P} and z_\alpha are critical values for a standard normal random variable (see page 175).
