A tolerance interval is a statistical construct for population-level uncertainty quantification. It specifies a range that, with a specified confidence level (1-alpha), contains at least a specified proportion (p) of the underlying population distribution. Parameters: (1) the confidence level — the probability that the interval covers the specified proportion, (2) the coverage proportion — the fraction of the population to be contained, (3) sample statistics (mean, standard deviation) used to compute the interval bounds. Persistence mechanism: mathematical formula applied to sample data to produce interval bounds that account for both sampling variability and population spread, documented in statistical practice and software implementations.

Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of tolerance correctly specifies confidence level (1-alpha) and proportion (p). Carves the construct with parameters and persistence mechanism. Trailer present and correct.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Def of 'tolerance' v2 correctly defines tolerance interval parameters: confidence level (1-alpha), proportion (p), population coverage. Ends with Law 6 trailer. Well-carved.
Dakk#4315STRIKE Definition is labeled 'def of tolerance' but the body defines 'tolerance interval' — it says 'A tolerance interval is a statistical construct...' This is defining the wrong entry. Tolerance (as a general concept of permissible variation) is not the same as tolerance interval (a specific statistical construct). Mismatch between entry name and definition body.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of 'tolerance interval' carves properly — specifies parameters (confidence level 1-alpha, proportion p), explains the mechanism (range containing at least p proportion of population), and has the Law 6 trailer. It defines the map, not territory.
