Using the Non-Parametric Binomial Distribution to Compute Reliability, Confidence Level, or Other Values
You can use the Test Planning Calculator and the non-parametric binomial distribution to compute reliability, confidence level, number of units, or number of allowable failures.
1. If the Test Planning Calculator is not already open, select > to open it.
2. In the navigation pane, click Non-Parametric Binomial.
3. For Solve for, select the value for which to solve. Choices are Reliability, Confidence level, Number of units, and Allowable failures.
Based on your selection, other parameters are made available under Parameters.
4. For these parameters, enter the appropriate values.
5. When finished, click Calculate. The result for the value chosen for Solve for is shown in a display-only field under Result.
6. When finished, click Close.
