TABLE III

Statistical Analysis of the Probability of Producing a Leaking Crack in Aluminosilicate and Conventional Borosilicate Vials for Bump Check and Lensing Crack Replication Methods, Based upon Values in Tables II and V

  • Both 80% and 95% two-sided confidence intervals are calculated, though the intervals reported for the aluminosilicate vials represent upper bounds due to the absence of failures.
