ABSTRACT
Example 3.4. A random sample of 300 units of a certain type of electronic component were place on test, and the life-span x was recorded for each item that failed. At the end of 1650 hours, 50 of the survivors were withdrawn (censored), and the test was terminated after 1735 hours with 95 survivors. In the notation employed here, the sample is summarized as: N = 300, T0 = 0, T1 = 1650, T2 = 1735,j1 = 120,j2 = 35, n = 120 + 35 = 155, c1 = 50, c2 = 95, .i = 1544.8, and s2 = 17,022.
