For sample size n and quality index Q,

This can be simplified for use on a spreadsheet, using the

(q)(s)

This can be simplified for use on a spreadsheet, using the
(q,s)

familiar F distribution (a transformation of the beta distribution)

1
F(Q,n)
1 and degrees of freedom n - 2
g(Q,n)
Then the nonconforming fraction is the cumulative F
distribution for F w ith n - 2, n - 2 degrees of freedom.
EXAMPLE : Q 1.59, n 5 as previously calculated.
g

1.59 5 1
0.9444
2(5 - 1)

I(0.9444,5) 0.9781 1 - 0.9781 0.02

From the previous page, g(1.59,5) 0.9444

Then F

g(Q,n)
0.9444
The nonconforming fraction is the cumulative F
distribution for F 0.05885 and degrees of freedom
n 1 n 2 n 2 w hichis 3 in this case.

This can be simplified for use on a spreadsheet, using the
(q,s)

familiar F distribution (a transformation of the beta distribution)

1
F(Q,n)
1 and degrees of freedom n - 2
g(Q,n)
Then the nonconforming fraction is the cumulative F
distribution for F w ith n - 2, n - 2 degrees of freedom.
EXAMPLE : Q 1.59, n 5 as previously calculated.
g

The nonconforming fraction is the cumulative F
distribution for F 0.05885 and degrees of freedom
n 1 n 2 n 2 w hichis 3 in this case.
Then F

In Microsoft Excel, FDIST(F,n1,n2) returns the upper tail for F with n1,n2 degrees of freedom. In this application, this is the conforming fraction so the nonconforming fraction is 1-FDIST(F,n-2,n-2) for any sample size.
In this case, 1-FDIST(0.05885,3,3) equals 0.0219 as before.
