  • Abstract
    s-Confidence and `A´ and `B´ allowable factors for sample sizes 2-30, obtained by Monte Carlo techniques, for populations whose property measurements can be represented by a 2-parameter Weibull distribution are developed. The factors for the Weibull case are presented here in graphical form which allows practical engineering application and readily shows sample size effects. A numerical example illustrates the use of the factors.
