Abstract
This paper presents a simple chart that provides approximate large-sample s-confidence limits for the percentiles of a Weibull life distribution estimated by maximum likelihood from singly censored data. The chart also helps determine the appropriate sample size and length of a life test. The methods are illustrated with life data on a locomotive control.Keywords
