The following table provides critical values for \(G(\alpha, n)\), where \(\alpha\) 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 critical values for G given here are for a single outlier, G10, where
\[G_\text{exp} = G_{10} = \frac {|X_{out} - \overline{X}|} {s} \nonumber\]
The suspected outlier is rejected if Gexp is greater than \(G(\alpha, n)\).
