I am interested in how to describe the data that does not reside in the area
described by the confidence interval.
For example, you have a two tailed situation, with a left tail of .1, a
middle of .8 and a right tail of .1, the confidence interval for the middle
is 90%.
Is it correct to say with

Neeraj,
It is easy to verify that if Y is exponential with mean t then Y/t is is
exponential with mean 1.
Also, the sum of n exponentials with parameter 1 has the distribution
Gamma(n,1). Most texts on probability and statistics (Feller Vol II, Mood
and Graybill) are references. It is a consequ
