An Acceptance Sampling Plan with N = 20 and C

question 69

Essay

An acceptance sampling plan with n = 20 and c = 1 has been designed with a producer's risk of .12.
a. Was the value of p₀ equal to .02, .03, .04, or .05?
b. What is the consumer's risk associated with this plan if p₁ is .08?
c. Assume the consumer's risk found in (b) is unacceptably high. Which modification of the sampling plan will result in the greater reduction of the consumer's risk, increasing n to 30 or decreasing c to 0?
