The following table provides critical values for G(α, n), where α is the probability of incorrectly rejecting the suspected outlier and n is the number of samples in the data set. There are several versions of Grubb’s Test, each of which calculates a value for Gij where i is the number of suspected outliers on one end of the data set and j is the number of suspected outliers on the opposite end of the data set. The values given here are for G10, where
\[G_\ce{exp} = G_{10} = \dfrac{|X_\ce{out} - \overline{X}|}{s}\]
The suspected outlier is rejected if Gexp is greater than G(α, n).
