Confidence Intervals for the (True) Proportion Nonconforming in the Sampled Population (or Process)6.3. Confidence Intervals for the Probability That the Number of Nonconforming Units in a Future Sample is Less Than or Equal to (or Greater than) a Specified NumberPresents a detailed exposition of statistical intervals and emphasizes applications in industry. The discussion differentiates at an elementary level among different kinds of statistical intervals and gives instruction with numerous examples and simple math on how to construct such intervals from sample data. This includes confidence intervals to contain a population percentile, confidence intervals on probability of meeting specified threshold value, and prediction intervals to include observation in a future sample.
