A company employs the following sampling plan: It draws a sample of 10 percentof the lot being inspected. If 1 percent or less of the sample is defective, the lot isaccepted. Otherwise the lot is rejected. c. If a lot contains 10,000 items of which 200 are defective, what is the probability that the lot is accepted?

- An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 37.437.4 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 280280 vans, they found a mean MPG of 37.837.8. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.32.3. A level of significance of 0.050.05 will be used.

Your plan is to sample 80 units of every 1,000 in a lo number of defects in a sample is not to exceed 3. Such a plan provides you with a probability of acceptance of each lot of 0.79 (79%).
