Signif

18、icance and Use4.1 This practice is intended for use in determining thesample size required to estimate, with specified precision, ameasure of quality of a lot or process. The practice applieswhen quality is expressed as either the lot average for a givenproperty, or as the lot fraction not conformin

19、g to prescribedstandards.The level of a characteristic may often be taken as anindication of the quality of a material. If so, an estimate of theaverage value of that characteristic or of the fraction of theobserved values that do not conform to a specification for thatcharacteristic becomes a measu

20、re of quality with respect to thatcharacteristic. This practice is intended for use in determiningthe sample size required to estimate, with specified precision,such a measure of the quality of a lot or process either as anaverage value or as a fraction not conforming to a specifiedvalue.5. Empirica

21、l Knowledge Needed5.1 Some empirical knowledge of the problem is desirablein advance.5.1.1 We may have some idea about the standard deviationof the characteristic.5.1.2 If we have not had enough experience to give a preciseestimate for the standard deviation, we may be able to state ourbelief about

22、the range or spread of the characteristic from itslowest to its highest value and possibly about the shape of thedistribution of the characteristic; for instance, we might be ableto say whether most of the values lie at one end of the range,or are mostly in the middle, or run rather uniformly from o

23、neend to the other (Section 9).5.2 If the aim is to estimate the fraction nonconforming,then each unit can be assigned a value of 0 or 1 (conforming ornonconforming), and the standard deviation as well as theshape of the distribution depends only on p, the fractionnonconforming in the lot or process

24、. Some rough idea con-cerning the size of p is therefore needed, which may be derivedfrom preliminary sampling or from previous experience.5.3 More knowledge permits a smaller sample size. Seldomwill there be difficulty in acquiring enough information tocompute the required size of sample. A sample

25、that is largerthan the equations indicate is used in actual practice when theempirical knowledge is sketchy to start with and when thedesired precision is critical.5.4 The precision of the estimate made from a randomsample may itself be estimated from the sample. This estima-tion of the precision fr

26、om one sample makes it possible to fixmore economically the sample size for the next sample of asimilar material. In other words, information concerning theprocess, and the material produced thereby, accumulates andshould be used.6. Precision Desired6.1 The approximate precision desired for the esti

27、mate mustbe prescribed. That is, it must be decided what maximumdeviation, E, can be tolerated between the estimate to be madefrom the sample and the result that would be obtained bymeasuring every unit in the lot or process.6.2 In some cases, the maximum allowable sampling error isexpressed as a pr

28、oportion, e, or a percentage, 100 e. Forexample, one may wish to make an estimate of the sulfurcontent of coal within 1 %, or e = 0.01.7. Equations for Calculating Sample Size7.1 Based on a normal distribution for the characteristic, theequation for the size, n, of the sample is as follows:n 5 3o/E!

29、2(1)The multiplier 3 is a factor corresponding to a low probabil-ity that the difference between the sample estimate and theresult of measuring (by the same methods) all the units in thelot or process is greater than E. The value 3 is recommendedfor general use. With the multiplier 3, and with a lot

30、 or processstandard deviation equal to the advance estimate, it is practi-cally certain that the sampling error will not exceed E. Wherea lesser degree of certainty is desired a smaller multiplier maybe used (Note 1).NOTE 1For example, multiplying by 2 in place of 3 gives aprobability of about 45 pa

31、rts in 1000 that the sampling error will exceedE.Although distributions met in practice may not be normal, the followingtext table (based on the normal distribution) indicates approximateprobabilities:Factor Approximate Probability of Exceeding E3 0.003 or 3 in 1000 (practical certainty)2.56 0.010 o

32、r 10 in 10002 0.045 or 45 in 10001.96 0.050 or 50 in 1000 (1 in 20)1.64 0.100 or 100 in 1000 (1 in 10)7.1.1 If a lot of material has a highly asymmetric distribu-tion in the characteristic measured, the sample size as calcu-lated in Eq 1 may not be adequate. There are two things to dowhen asymmetry

33、is suspected.7.1.1.1 Probe the material with a view to discovering, forexample, extra-high values, or possibly spotty runs of abnor-mal character, in order to approximate roughly the amount ofthe asymmetry for use with statistical theory and adjustment ofthe sample size if necessary.7.1.1.2 Search t

34、he lot for abnormal material and segregate itfor separate treatment.7.2 There are some materials for which varies approxi-mately with , in which case V(=) remains approximatelyconstant from large to small values of .E122 1727.2.1 For the situation of 7.2, the equation for the samplesize, n, is as fo

35、llows:n 5 3 Vo/e!2(2)If the relative error, e, is to be the same for all values of ,then everything on the right-hand side of Eq 2 is a constant;hence n is also a constant, which means that the same samplesize n would be required for all values of .7.3 If the problem is to estimate the lot fractionn

36、onconforming, then o2is replaced by po(1po) so that Eq1 becomes:n 5 3/E!2po1 2 po! (3)7.4 When the average for the production process is notneeded, but rather the average of a particular lot is needed, thenthe required sample size is less than Eq 1, Eq 2, and Eq 3indicate. The sample size for estima

37、ting the average of thefinite lot will be:nL5 n/11n/N!# (4)where n is the value computed from Eq 1, Eq 2,orEq 3.This reduction in sample size is usually of little importanceunless n is 10 % or more of N.7.5 When the information on the standard deviation islimited, a sample size larger than indicated

38、 in Eq 1, Eq 2, andEq 3 may be appropriate. When the advance estimate 0isbased on f degrees of freedom, the sample size in Eq 1 may bereplaced by:n 5 30/E!211=2/f! (5)NOTE 2The standard error of a sample variance with f degrees offreedom, based on the normal distribution, is =24/f. The factor11=2/f!

39、 has the effect of increasing the preliminary estimate 02byone times its standard error.8. Reduction of Empirical Knowledge to a NumericalValue of o(Data for Previous Samples Available)8.1 This section illustrates the use of the equations inSection 7 when there are data for previous samples.8.2 For

40、Eq 1An estimate of ocan be obtained fromprevious sets of data. The standard deviation, s, from any givensample is computed as:s 5F(i51nXi2 X!2/n 2 1!G1/2(6)The s value is a sample estimate of o. A better, more stablevalue for omay be computed by pooling the s values obtainedfrom several samples from

41、 similar lots. The pooled s value spfor k samples is obtained by a weighted averaging of the kresults from use of Eq 6.sp5F(j51knj2 1!sj2/(j51knj2 1!G1/2(7)8.2.1 If each of the previous data sets contains the samenumber of measurements, nj, then a simpler, but slightly lessefficient estimate for oma

42、y be made by using an average (s)of the s values obtained from the several previous samples. Thecalculated s value will in general be a slightly biased estimateof o. An unbiased estimate of ois computed as follows:o5sc4(8)where the value of the correction factor, c4, depends on thesize of the indivi

43、dual data sets (nj)(Table 13).8.2.2 An even simpler, and slightly less efficient estimate foromay be computed by using the average range (R) taken fromthe several previous data sets that have the same group size.o5Rd2(9)The factor, d2, from Table 1 is needed to convert the averagerange into an unbia

44、sed estimate of o.8.2.3 Example 1Use of s.8.2.3.1 ProblemTo compute the sample size needed toestimate the average transverse strength of a lot of bricks whenthe value of E is 50 psi, and practical certainty is desired.8.2.3.2 SolutionFrom the data of three previous lots, thevalues of the estimated s

45、tandard deviation were found to be215, 192, and 202 psi based on samples of 100 bricks. Theaverage of these three standard deviations is 203 psi. The c4value is essentially unity when Eq 1 gives the followingequation for the required size of sample to give a maximumsampling error of 50 psi:n 5 3 320

The pooled V valuevpfor k samples, not necessarily of the

47、 same size, is obtainedby a weighted average of the k results. Then use Eq 2.vp5F(j51knj2 1!vj2/(j51knj2 1!G1/2(11)8.3.1 Example 2Use of V, the estimated coefficient ofvariation:8.3.1.1 ProblemTo compute the sample size needed toestimate the average abrasion resistance (that is, averagenumber of cyc

48、les) of a material when the value of e is 0.10 or10 %, and practical certainty is desired.8.3.1.2 SolutionThere are no data from previous samplesof this same material, but data for six samples of similarmaterials show a wide range of resistance. However, the valuesof estimated standard deviation are
