Confidence and Tolerance Intervals for the Normal Distribution

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Abstract Confidence and tolerance intervals for the normal distribution are presented for the various cases of known and unknown mean and standard deviation. Practical illustration and interpretation of these intervals are given. Tables are presented permitting a comparison among the intervals. Finally the relationship between the two types of intervals is described.
