Impact of isolated extreme data in small studies. In a hypothetical future study that includes \(\mathrm{n}\) samples, a single measurement at the edges of our proposed reference range (see Fig. 6) will affect the mean of the study (left) and the standard deviation (middle) as shown. We are considering the 90%, 95%, and 99% tolerance interval calculated as described in the text. Note that this illustrates a hypothetical experiment as detailed in the text.
