De representatieve waarde voor de wrijvingscoëfficient moet statistisch worden bepaald onder de aanname van een standaard normale verdeling voor de proefresultaten. De representatieve waarde komt overeen met een onderschrijdingskans van y = 0.05 en een betrouwbaarheid van a = 0.75.

and a reliability (coefficient) of a = 0.75

This could be an indication of error, so you could also say, the probability of error for underestimation of (or is) y = 0.05
