Suppose you characterized the variation in the weight of tablets from a new process and then wanted to use that work to estimate the variation in weight that could be expected in a multi-tablet package.
One way to get the multi-tablet estimate is to simulate a large number of tablets with a specified mean and sigma, using a normal distribution. Then divide the individual tablets into a large number of subgroups, sum the weights and then look at the variation in the subgroup![Screen Shot 2019-05-21 at 8.28.12 AM.png Screen Shot 2019-05-21 at 8.28.12 AM.png](https://community.jmp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/17333i0F70D58CD74F9A54/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999)
