Abstract
The paper presents a procedure for the estimation (point & interval) f or a reliability model of the form Pr{X>Y} or Pr{X less than or equal to Y} and Gaussian (normal) distributed variables. The procedures are derived from a quantitative approach that allows the user to get suffi cient evidence, concerning the product reliability, by testing a small sample but at severe conditions, rather than testing a large sample a t the nominal working conditions. Y has known parameters while X is a Gaussian r.v. with an unknown mean and a known coefficient-of-variatio n. The procedure is practical and cost effective when facing situation s such as high test-cost, or severe contractual reliability requiremen ts.
