In this example, we desire to design a test to demonstrate a reliability of 85% at  <math>{{t}_{DEMO}}=500</math>  hours with a 90% confidence, or  <math>CL=0.9,</math>  and two allowable failures,  <math>f=2</math> . The chi-squared value can be determined from tables or the Quick Statistical Reference in Weibull++. In this example, the value is calculated as:
 
::<math>\chi _{1-CL;2r+2}^{2}=\chi _{0.1;6}^{2}=10.6446</math>
 
 
Substituting this into the Chi-Squared equation, we obtain:
 
::<math>{{T}_{a}}=\frac{\tfrac{500}{-ln(0.85)}\cdot 10.6446}{2}=16,374\text{ hours}</math>
 
This means that 16,374 hours of total test time need to be accumulated with two failures in order to demonstrate the specified reliability.
 
This example solved in Weibull++ is shown next.
 
Given the test time, one can now solve for the number of units using the Chi-Squared equation.  Similarly, if the number of units is given, one can determine the test time from the Chi-Squared equation for exponential test design.
