Pass or Fail: With Which Probability?

October 23, 2019 Office Articles, Vol. 26:3 (Jul 2019)

by Manuel Rodríguez

In this paper, the Probability of Pass (PoP) and the Probability of Fail (PoF) are derived following a metrological approach, in which concepts such as repeatability, number of effective degrees of freedom, level of confidence, coverage factors and expanded uncertainty will play a role.
