Look for p-values <.05. Second Table» Variance components» Standard deviations» A constant multiple of the standard deviations, usually 5.15*sigma Third Table 99% of the area under a curve is within an interval 5.15 standard deviations wide. This number is also called the study variation and used to estimate how wide an interval one would need to capture 99% of the measurements from a process.» % Contribution to total variation made by each variance component Each component is divided by the total variation then multiplied by 100.» % Study variation Standard Deviation of each component is divided by the total Standard Deviation.
