Hi again,

❝ How would you handle the nk being variable for every batch in these equations?


Maybe I didn't understand your question then. I apologise if this was the case.
nk is "Number of canisters or bottles per batch", for the k'th product. There is no provision in the guidance for varying the number of cans (bottles) per batch within a product. I struggle to see how a carefully planned experiment would involve varying the number of cans across batches. Would there be any advantage of it?!?
If you have a dataset with this kind of variation then I'd suggets to:
1. Evaluate if a bootstrap/resampling approach can get you somewhere
2. Plan it differently next time :-)

Pass or fail!
