Description
During the last two years, there has been some confusion in the field on how to assess the sensitivity of future neutrino oscillation experiments to the neutrino mass ordering. A factor of two difference to the common approach has been proposed. We resolve the situation by going back to the basic statistical definitions and apply the results to compare future possibilities of experiments aiming for determination of the mass ordering. We find that the typical median sensitivity measure is very close to that given by the common approach. We also discuss other possible measures of sensitivity and briefly discuss other situations where the method is applicable, such as for the determination of the octant of theta23.
