  • Abstract
    Quality control, a technique based on a study of variations in process, utilizes statistical methods for detecting defects in quantity manufacture. However, it is a theory founded on the elementary laws of chance and thus a knowledge of these laws is of invaluable aid to the engineer who must specify the required tests, adapt his designs to the tools available, and adjust his tolerances correctly.
