1. Trend graph
2. Quality history
3. OC curve
4. None of these
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 3 : OC curve
Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Acceptance sampling:Acceptance sampling is the process of evaluating a portion of the product/material in a lot for the
purpose of accepting or rejecting the lot as either conforming or not conforming to a quality
specification.
Operating Characteristic (OC) curve:
The operating characteristic curve for an attribute sampling plan is a graph of fraction defective in a lot
against the probability of acceptance.
For any fraction defective p in a submitted lot, The OC curve shows the probability P, that such a lot will
be accepted by the sampling plan.
In a sampling plan, three parameters are specified,
NN = lot size from which the samples are drawn,
n= sample size,
C= acceptance number
It means, takes a random sample of n from a lot of N if the sample contains more than C defective,
rejects the lot otherwise accept the lot

OC Curve
There are two terms on the OC curve:
Producer's risk:
+ If the quality is good still from the sampling plan some lots are rejected the producer has to
suffer.
+ The producer risk is the probability of rejecting a good lot that otherwise would have been
accepted.
Consumer's or Purchasers risk:
+ if the quality is bad still from the sampling plan some lots are to be accepted the consumer will
suffer.
+ Consumer's risk is the probability of defective lots being accepted which otherwise would have
been rejected.
