This saves the cost and delay of conducting aninterlaboratory

7、study.4.2 At the heart of statistical theory is the concept of afrequency distribution of a random variable. The precisionlimit of the random variable is determined by the standarddeviation of the variable. The standard deviation of a randomvariable that is the sum, difference, product, or quotient

8、of twoother random variables can be calculated simply so long as theindividual variables are independent and the standard devia-tions are small relative to their mean values. These restrictionsare usually met in ASTM methods. In those cases where theserestrictions are not met, other methods can be u

9、sed. Only casescomplying with the restrictions are covered in this standard.5.

18、ethod D 3203 calculates the percent air voidsin paving mixtures by using values obtained from Test Meth-ods D 1188 and D 2041. Both of these test methods haveprecision statements so a precision statement can be calculatedfor Test Method D 3203.X1.2 Calculating Air Voids:X1.2.1 The equation for calcu

Therefore, Eq 3 involving a quotient is the proper oneto use in determining a precisio

20、n statement for air voids.X1.2.2 Test Method D 1188 has one of the older precisionstatements which does not give the standard deviation but onlygives the D2S limit for multilaboratory precision. The testingoperations in Test Methods D 1188 and D 2041 are very similarso it is not surprising that the

21、D2S limits for multilaboratoryprecision are almost identical being 0.02 for Test MethodD 1188 and 0.019 for Test Method D 2041. Therefore, the tablefor nonporous aggregate from Test Method D 2041 is used asthe basis for both test methods as follows:Standard DeviationAcceptable Range ofTwo ResultsTes

23、ed to be 2.523.X1.3 Eq 3 was used to calculate the single-operatorprecision standard deviation for these specific gravity values.Standard deviation for Test Method D 3203 is as follows:Single-operator precision:s xy52.523!20.004!21 2.423!20.004!22.523!4(X1.2)= 0.0022Multilaboratory precision:sxy52.5
