Claim 20:
21. The inkjet printer of claim 17, the controller being further configured to:
generate a third histogram for the printhead using the first probability distribution and a number of inkjets in the plurality of inkjets that is less than the total number of inkjets in the plurality of inkjets;
identify a standard deviation for the third histogram;
generating a second percentile histogram using the third histogram and a portion of a second probability distribution corresponding to the percentile of the second probability distribution;
generate a fourth histogram of a inkjet status vector for the number of inkjets that is less than the total number of inkjets;
compare terms in the fourth histogram to corresponding terms in the second percentile histogram; and
generate the signal when one term in the fourth histogram is equal to or greater than the corresponding term in the second percentile histogram.
