Science - Mathematics & Statistics / règles de limites d'alerte
English term or phrase: mean +/- xSD
Voici des segments contenant l'expression :

If this rule is not selected, then the following rules will be checked also when the measurement does not exceed the mean ± 2SD warning limits.

If you select the 1:2S rule then the software will check all following rules only if the measurement exceeds the mean ± 2SD (or the warning limits).

If the measurement exceeds the mean + 3SD or mean - 3SD, then the run is considered out of control.

Moyenne ± 2ET ? + 3ET ?

moyenne ± nET / ± nET
Explanation:
The abbreviation SD is commonly used in French e.g. "l'écart type ou déviation standard (SD)". Both it and ET can be found in IATE (http://iate.europa.eu/).

The correct plus or minus symbol is "±"

"n" is conventionally used for integers (x representing a real number). In the context of control limits, one is talking about this integer being 1, 2, 3 or 4.

mean +/- xsd
moyenne +/- x σ


Explanation:
sd correspond bien à l’écart-type (standard deviation en anglais).
Pour l'écart-type, on utilise la lettre sigma en minuscule très couramment
Exemple : +/-2σ
