Acceptance Sampling by Attributes - Compare

Sampling Criteria - Lot Quality

  

For attribute data, you say that either a unit is go/no (pass/fail) or you can count and record the number of defects found in a unit.

When you have go/no go data, you count the number of defectives and calculate the product quality as percent defective, proportion defective, or defectives per million.

When you count and record the number of defects, you calculate the product quality expressed as defects per unit, per 100 units, or per million units.

Example Output

Measurement type:  Go/no go

Lot quality in percent defective

Lot size:  25000

Use the binomial distribution to calculate probability of acceptance

Interpretation

For the grocery bags, you have go/no go data. You decide to calculate the defective rate as percent defective.
