In many problems of quality and reliability engineering processes and designs, fitting of a probability distribution to the tensile strength or breaking stress data may be helpful in predicting the probability or forecasting the frequency of occurrence of the breaking stress, and planning beforehand. In this paper, Burr (4P) distribution functions was fitted to such breaking stress data, and compared with Burr (3P), Dagum (3P) and Dagum (4P) distribution functions. Goodness of fit has been tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling and Chi-Squared distribution tests. It is observed that the Burr (4P) distribution fits the best among these four distributions.
