The way to obtain it is simple. A single group of animals is used, always an odd number to simplify things. Most often 9 animals are used. The time at which the 5th death occurs is the LT50 (i.e., 4 died before the 5th and 4 will die after the 5th, thus the time at which the 5th died is the median time to death!). |
