  • Abstract
    Probability functions are essential aids in the evaluation of data. Using them, the significance of differences between standard and observed values can be determined. Furthermore, they provide a means of checking agreement between practice and theory. Thirdly, the function known as variance will tell the engineer what factors are contributing to deviations in items that do not conform very exactly to their design.
