Abstract
We shall begin this chapter by introducing three significant statistical distributions which provide the mathematical basis for the topics of the remainder of this chapter, and also the following one. These distributions are known as the binomial, the Poisson and the normal. They are important when we wish to predict the likelihood or significance of finding specific numbers of defective items, defects, and measured values respectively.
