Sample text

These different examples of intercomparison and debate are not meant to be comprehensive, merely illustrative at a general level of the sort of cross-criticism that is encountered. Indeed, at this stage of our deveiopment they cannot be fully explained, let alone explored. A principal function of the both is to present the different principles and methods in sufficient detail for such intercomparison to be clearly understood and assessed. How are we to react to all this criticism and controversy?

The development of the probability concept, and of its use, ranges from the tentative origins of the subject in the work of Cardano, Kepler, etc. in the sixteenth century, through its application to games of chance notably in the correspondence between Pascal and Fermat over a problem in the throwing of dice raised by Antoine Gombaud, the chevalier de Mtsrts, in the mid-seventeenth century, to its subsequent refinement and formalisation in the following 150-200 years in the work of the Bernoulli brothers, de Moivre, Euler, Bayes and Laplace.

2 SAMPLE DATA AS THE SOLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION: THE CLASSICAL APPROACH Suppose a current batch of the electronic components is available and we draw a random sample of them from the large number in the batch, and examine their individual properties. A standard test is available to check for the basic manufacturing fault and this is applied to all the components in the sample. As a result we find that a number r, out of the n components in the sample, are defective. The effective components, which have been in no way damaged by the standard test, are now given a life-test to determine their lifetimes.
