Figure 9.16: Illustrations of the statistical errors for the four sets of pseudoexperiments with several values of the number of protons on target (POT). The figures show the area contained within the 90% C.L. (see Figure 9.15) for one hundred pseudo-experiments at each fixed number of POT. The two fit methods are compared in these figures. The primary fit method is shown with a black line, labeled as “Separate.” The secondary fit method is shown with a red histogram, labeled as “All events.”
