Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative techniques for reliability sampling plants are described. An example shows how to apply the techniques to detect service life and the effectiveness of reliability. The relationships between sample size, confidence limits number of failed units during the test, and the fraction of reliable units is shown. By statistical simulation, 55 practical sampling plans were developed. The statistical simulation, with the aid of finite differences and computer analysis, provided a good solution of the authors´ research problems. The distribution of the data corresponds rather accurately to the given curves, which are the inverses of the functions of the theoretical distribution based on the formalised approach
