ABC Company produces mugs in
lots of 10,000. Performance
measures for quality of mugs sent
to stores call for a producer’s risk
of 0.05 with an AQL of 1%
defective and a consumer’s risk of
0.10 with a LTPD of 5% defective.
What size sample and what
acceptance number should ABC
use to achieve performance
measures called for in the
sampling plan?
N = 10,000 n = ?
α = 0.05 c = ?
β = 0.10
AQL = 1%
LTPD = 5%
