Abstract: | In the conventional concept, the variance of a tolerance interval from the measurements is a single component, and the sample size for quality control process was estimated by the variance of a single component. However, we can find examples in recent about several components that could vary in their measurements, so an approximate method must be found to modify the conventional tolerance interval. In our paper, we develop an approach to calculate the sample size for a two-sided tolerance interval including several components in the variance from the measurements. An example is presented to illustrate our proposed method. |
