Q4: Shipments of 300 boxes of glassware are received at a warehouse of a large department store.
Random samples of five boxes are checked, and the lot is rejected if more than one box reveals breakage.
Construct the OC curve for this plan. What is the probability of accepting shipments with 15% defective?
Suggest a more discriminating sampling plan.
the probability of accepting shipments with 15% defective is 0.83521.

Here are two possible suggestions for a more discriminating sampling plan:
1. Decrease the Sample Size: Instead of checking samples of five boxes, we could reduce the sample
size to increase the sensitivity of the inspection. For example, we could check samples of three boxes
instead of five. With a smaller sample size, any observed defects would have a greater impact on the
decision to accept or reject the lot.

2. Tighten the Acceptance Criteria: We could also tighten the acceptance criteria by reducing the
maximum allowable defects in the sample before rejecting the lot. For example, instead of rejecting the
lot if more than one box reveals breakage, we could reject the lot if any boxes in the sample reveal
breakage. This would make the sampling plan more sensitive to defects and less tolerant of poor quality.
