The total is 1.0226 <strong>and</strong> the test statistic is −19(1) + 19(1.0226) = 0.4292. Because the test statistic<br />

is less than the critical value <strong>of</strong> 2.492, the exponential model is viewed as plausible.<br />

For Data Set B censored at 1,000, the results are in the following table.<br />
