INSPECTION AND SAMPLING PLAN
4.1. An instrument has been used to measure the length of a part. The result was
6.70052 cm. An error-of-measurement study was made on the instrument with the
following results:
Accuracy: +0.00254cm (on the average, the instrument reads 0.00254cm high)
Precision: 0.001016cm (one standard deviation)
Make a statement concerning the true value of the part just measured. State all
assumptions needed.
4.2. One ball bearing was measured by one inspector 13 times with each of two Vernier
micrometers. The results are shown below:
Measurement No. Model A Model B

1 0.6557 0.6559
2 0.6556 0.6559
3 0.6556 0.6559
4 0.6555 0.6559
5 0.6556 0.6559
6 0.6557 0.6559
7 0.6556 0.6559
8 0.6558 0.6559
9 0.6557 0.6559
10 0.6557 0.6559
11 0.6556 0.6559
12 0.6557 0.656
13 0.6557 0.656
Suppose that the true diameter is 0.65600. Calculate measures of bias and precision
for each micrometer. What restrictions must be placed on the applicability of the
numbers you determined?
4.3. A large sample of product has been measured. The mean was 2.506 in and the
standard deviation was 0.002 in. A separate error-of-measurement study yielded the
following results:
Bias = +0.001 in.
Precision: 0.0005 in (one standard deviation). The product has only a minimum
tolerance limit. What should this limit be to take into account bias and precision
and reject only five percent of the product?
4.4. A sample of measurements shows a mean and standard deviation of 2.000 in and
0.004 in. respectively. These results are for the observed values. A separate error-
of-measurement study indicates a precision of 0.002 in (one standard deviation).

There is no bias error. The dimension has a specification of 2.000 ± 0.006 in. What
percentage of the population has true dimensions outside the specification?
4.5. The mean weight of a company’s racing bicycles is 9.07 kilograms. with a standard
deviation of 0.40 kilograms. If the distribution is approximately normal, determine
(a) the percentage of bicycles weighing less than 8.30 kilograms and (b) the
percentage of bicycles weighing between 8.00 and 10.10 kilograms.
4.6. You are quality manager for a company receiving large quantities of materials from
a supplier in lots of 1000. The cost of inspecting the lots is $0.76/unit. The cost that
is incurred if bad material is introduced into your product is $15.20/unit. A sampling
plan of 75 with acceptance number equal to two has been submitted to you by one
of your engineers. In the past, lots submitted by the supplier have averaged 3.4
percent defective.
a. Is a sampling plan economically justified?
b. Prepare an operating characteristic curve.
c. If you want to accept only lots of four percent defective or better. what do you
think of the sampling plan submitted by the engineer?
4.7. An assembly line runs and produces a large number of units. At the end of the line
an inspector checks the product, labeling it as either conforming or nonconforming.
The average fraction of nonconforming is 0.10. When a sample of size 10 is taken,
what is the probability that 5 nonconforming units will occur?
4.8. An insurance company processes claim forms on a continuous basis. These forms,
when checked by adjustors, are either filed as written or, if there is an error, returned
to sender. Current error rates are running at 10 percent. In a sample of 6, what is the
probability that more than two claims will be rejected because of errors?
4.9. A random sample of 3 bottles is selected from the running conveyor system. When
the bottles are inspected. they are either properly labeled or they are not. Rejected
bottles are scrapped. The proportion nonconforming is 0.25. What is the probability
of there being 1 or fewer nonconforming units in the sample?
4.10. Determine a single sampling plan with general inspection level, an AQL = 1.5%,
and a lot size N = 1500 production units under:
a) Normal inspection.
b) Tightened inspection.
c) Reduced inspection.
4.11. Determine a single sampling plan that operates at inspection level III, with AQL
= 0.15%, and a lot size N = 250 production units.
4.12. Determine the appropriate single sampling plan for reduced, normal, and
tightened inspection, where AQL = 1% and N = 4.000. Explain the decision rules
for the sampling plans.

4.13. For a lot size of N = 1000 parts, using normal and reduced inspection, determine
the appropriate single sampling plan for an AQL = 0.04% defective.
4.14. In acceptance sampling, single sampling is to be used with general inspection

level, AQL = 0.15% and a lot size N = 15.000 units. Determine the sampling plans
called for under:
a. Reduced inspection.
b. Normal inspection.
c. Tightened inspection.
4.15. A double-sampling plan is desired that will assure long-run average quality of
one percent defective or better. All rejected lots will be 100 percent inspected. The
lot size is expected to vary between 1200 and 1800. Past data show the supplier to
average about 0.30 percent defective.
a. Define the sampling plan.
b. What percent defective in a lot would have a ten percent chance of being
accepted by this plan?
c. What is the probability that a lot which is four percent defective will be
rejected on the first sample of the double-sampling procedure?
4.16. Sampling plan is conducted in the following conditions:

• Lot size = 10.000
• Inspection level II
• Acceptable quality level = four percent
a. Find a single sampling plan for normal inspection.
b. Suppose that a lot is sampled and accepted. Someone makes the statement.
“This means the lot has four percent or less defective.” Comment on this
statement. (Assume that the sample was randomly selected and no inspection
errors were made.)
c. Calculate the probability of accepting a four percent defective lot under
normal inspection.
4.17. A customer is furnished resistors to the government. Inspection level II has been
specified with an AQL of 1.0 percent. Lot sizes vary from 900 to 1200.
a. What single-sampling plan will be used?
b. Calculate the quality (in terms of percentage defective) that has an equal
chance of being accepted or rejected.
c. What is the chance that a one percent defective lot will be accepted?
