The resistance of a certain resistor is measured 5 times with the same ohmmeter
8 welds are made with the same process, and the strength of each is measured.
A quality engineer needs to estimate the percentage of parts manufactured on a certain day that are defective. At 2.30 in the afternoon he samples the last 100 parts to be manufactured.
