Tolerance inerval vs. Distribution profiler

Hi.

I've generated 20 numbers from standard normal distribution.

One sided tolerance interval for proportion of 97.5% is 2.114196.

On the othe hand, the distribution profiler shows that for 2.114196 the upper bound is 99.9959%

Am I missing something? I was thinking that the upper bound of the the distribution profiler has to be equal/approx. equal to the proportion of the tolerance interval.

I am trying to understand these numbers because of the following need.

I need to calc a tolerance interval for Gamma/Johnson distribution.

JMP does not have this option. I was thinking about distribution profiler of Gamma dist. as a solution.

Is there some way to cal a tolerance interval for Gamma/Johnson distribution?

Thank you!

Re: Tolerance inerval vs. Distribution profiler

The distribution profiler shows the confidence interval, not the tolerance interval (at least it does that with my installation). This might explain why you are seeing 99.9959% "confidence" (not tolerance) for a value of 2.114196.
