Question

Problem 44E

In Chapter 19 we discuss the acceptance sample. Acceptance sampling is used to monitor the quality of incoming raw materials.

To ensure the quality of incoming parts, a purchaser or manufacturer normally samples 20 parts and allows 1 defect.

a. What is the likelihood of accepting a lot that is 1 percent defective?

b. If the quality of the incoming lot was actually 2 percent, what is the likelihood of accepting it?

c. If the quality of the incoming lot was actually 5 percent, what is the likelihood of accepting it?
