Stracener_EMIS 7305/5305_Spr08_02.28.08
20
Probability Plotting
• Data are plotted on special graph paper designed for a particular distribution
- Normal - Weibull- Lognormal - Exponential
• If the assumed model is adequate, the plotted points will tend to fall in a straight line
• If the model is inadequate, the plot will not be linear and the type & extent of departures can be seen
• Once a model appears to fit the data reasonably well, parameters and percentiles can be estimated.
Stracener_EMIS 7305/5305_Spr08_02.28.08
21
Probability Plotting Procedure
• Step 1: Obtain special graph paper, known asprobability paper, designed for each of the followingdistributions:Weibull, Exponential, Lognormal and Normal.http://www.weibull.com/GPaper/index.htm
• Step 2: Rank the sample values from smallest to largest in magnitude i.e., X1 X2 ..., Xn.
Stracener_EMIS 7305/5305_Spr08_02.28.08
22
Probability Plotting General Procedure
• Step 3: Plot the Xi’s on the probability paper versus
depending on whether the marked axis on the paper refers to the % or the proportion of observations. The axis of the graph paper on which the Xi’s are plotted will be referred to as the observational scale, and the axis for as the cumulative probability scale.

Probability Plotting General Procedure
The formula
is an approximation that can be used to estimate median ranks, called Benard’s approximation.
where n is the sample size and i is the sample order number. Tables of median ranks can be found in may statistics and reliability texts.

Probability Plotting General Procedure
Median ranks represent the 50% confidence level (“best guess”) estimate for the true value of F(t), based on the total sample size and the order number (first, second, etc.) of the data.
Stracener_EMIS 7305/5305_Spr08_02.28.08
25
Probability Plotting General Procedure
•Step 4: If a straight line appears to fit the data, draw a line on the graph, ‘by eye’.
• Step 5: Estimate the model parameters from the graph.

Probability Plotting - example
In this example, the points on Weibull probability paper fall in a fairly linear fashion, indicating that the Weibull distribution provides a good fit to the data. If the points did not seem to follow a straight line, we might want to consider using another probability distribution to analyze the data.

Perform a statistical analysis of the tensile strength data and estimate the probability that tensile strength on a new design will be less than 50, i.e, reliability at 50.
