What you will learn
 The purpose of Sampling
 How to draw a statistically valid Sample
 How to Develop a Sampling Plan
 How to construct an O-C curve for your sampling
plan
 How to use (and understand) ANSI/ASQ Z1.4
 How to use ANSI/ASQ Z1.9
 Assessing Inspection Economics

20101129 3
What is Sampling
Sampling refers to the practice of evaluating
(inspecting) a portion -the sample - of a lot – the
population – for the purpose of inferring information
about the lot.
Statistically speaking, the properties of the sample
distribution are used to infer the properties of the
population (lot) distribution.
An accept/reject decision is normally made based on
the results of the sample
Sampling is an Audit practice

20101129 4
Why Sample?
 Economy
 Less inspection labor
 Less time
 Less handling damage
 Provides check on process control
 Fewer errors ???
 i.e. inspection accuracy

20101129 5
What does Sampling not do?
 Does not provide detailed information of lot quality

 Does not provide judgment of fitness for use (of
rejected items)
 Does not guarantee elimination of defectives – any
AQL permits defectives

20101129 6
Sampling Caveats
 Size of sample is more important than percentage of lot

 Only random samples are statistically valid
 Access to samples does not guarantee randomness
 Acceptance sampling can place focus on wrong place
 Supplier should provide evidence of quality
 Focus should be on process control
 Misuse of sampling plans can be costly and misleading.
 No such thing as a single representative sample

20101129 7
Representative Sample?
There is no such thing as a single
representative sample
Why?
 Draw repeated samples of 5 from a normally
distributed population.
 Record the X-bar (mean) and s (std.dev) for each
sample
 What is the result?

20101129 8
Distribution of Means
The Distribution of Means obeys normal distribution – regardless of

distribution of parent population.

20101129 9
Standard Error of the Mean
Central Limit Theorem
The relationship of the standard deviation of sample

means to the standard deviation of the population
Note: For a uniform distribution, Underestimates error by 25% with
n=2, but only by 5% with n=6

20101129 10
The Random Sample
At any one time, each of the remaining items in the
population has an equal chance of being the next
item selected
One method is to use a table of Random Numbers
(handout from Grant & Leavenworth)
 Enter the table Randomly ( like pin-the-tail-on-the-
donkey)
 Proceed in a predetermined direction – up, down, across
 Discard numbers which cannot be applied to the sample

20101129 11

Leavenworth
20101129 12
Stratified Sampling
 Random samples are selected from a “homogeneous lot”.
Often, the parts may not be homogeneous because they were
produced on different machines, by different operators, in
different plants, etc.
 With stratified sampling, random samples are drawn from
each “group” of processes that are different from other groups.

20101129 13
Selecting the Sample
 Wrong way to select sample
 Judgement: often leads to Bias
 Convenience
 Right ways to select sample
 Randomly
 Systematically: e.g. every nth unit; risk of bias occurs
when selection routine matches a process pattern

20101129 15
The Typical O-C Curve

20101129 16
Sampling Terms
 AQL – Acceptable Quality Level: The worst quality
level that can be considered acceptable.
 Acceptance Number: the largest number of defective
units permitted in the sample to accept a lot – usually
designated as “Ac” or “c”
 AOQ – Average Outgoing Quality: The expected
quality of outgoing product, after sampling, for a
given value of percent defective in the incoming
product. AOQ = p * Pa

20101129 17
Sampling Terms (cont.)
 AOQL – Average Outgoing Quality Level: For a
given O-C curve, the maximum value of AOQ.
 Rejection Number – smallest number of defective
units in the sample which will cause the lot to be
rejected – usually designated as “Re”
 Sample Size – number of items in sample – usually
designated by “n”
 Lot Size – number of items in the lot (population) –
usually designated by “N”

20101129 18
Sampling Risks
 Producers Risk – α: calling the population bad
when it is good; also called Type I error
 Consumers Risk – β: calling the population good

when it is bad; also called Type II error

20101129 21
Constructing the O-C curve
We will do the following O-C curves
 Use Hyper-geometric and Poisson for each of the
following
• N=60, n=6, Ac = 2
• N=200, n=20, Ac = 2
• N=1000, n=100, Ac = 2
• N=1000, n=6, Ac = 2
Let’s do k (Ac, c - # of successes) = 0 first

20101129 22
Hyper-geometric
The number of distinct combination of “n” items

taken “r” at a time is

20101129 23
Hyper-geometric (cont)
= (DCk NqCn-k) / NCn
Construct the following Table

p D=Np P(k=0) P(k=1) P(k=2) P(k ≤ 2)
0%
1%
2%
3%
etc.
A Hyper-geometric calculator can be found at www.stattrek.com
Note: The Hyper-geometric distribution applies when the population, N, is
small compared to the sample size, however, it can always be used.
Sampling is done without replacement.

20101129 56
ANSI/ASQC Z1.9-1993
What is “k”
“k” is a critical statistic (term used in hypothesis testing).

It defines the maximum area of the distribution which can be
above the USL.
When Qcalc > k, there is less of distribution above Qcalc than above
“k” and lot is accepted. (Compare to “Z” table)
Increasing (USL - X-bar) increases Pa

20101129 57
ANSI/ASQC Z1.9-1993
Exercise Solution
The five reading are 197F, 188F, 184F, 205F, 201F.

 X-bar (mean) = 195F
 S (Std. Dev) = 8.8F
 Qcalc = (USL – X-bar)/s = 1.59
 Because Qcalc = 1.59 is greater than k=1.52, lot is
accepted

Another Exercise
 Same information as before

 AQL = 0.1
 Find Code Letter, n, k
 Accept or Reject Lot?

20101129 60
Solution – 2nd Exercise
New code letter is “E”, n=7, & k=2.22
The seven reading are 197F, 188F, 184F, 205F, 201F,

193F & 197F.
 X-bar (mean) = 195F
 S (std. Dev) = 7.3F
 Qcalc = (USL – X-bar)/s = 1.91
 Because Qcalc = 1.91 is less than k=2.22, lot is
rejected

20101129 61
Inspection Economics
 Average Total Inspection: The average number
of devices inspected per lot by the defined sampling
plan
ATI = n Pa + N(1- Pa)
which assumes each rejected lot is 100% inspected.
 Average Fraction Inspected:
AFI = ATI/N
 Average Outgoing Quality:
AOQ = AQL (1 – AFI)

20101129 62
Exercise (from Grant & Leavenworth, p395)
 AQL = 0.5%, N=1000

 Which sampling plan would have least ATI.
 n = 100, c = 0
 n = 170, c = 1
 n = 240, c = 2

20101129 63
Exercise Solution
N 1000 1000 1000

n 100 170 240
c 0 1 2
Pa 0.59 0.8 0.92
n Pa 59 136 220.8
N(1- Pa) 410 200 80
ATI 460 336 300.8
AFI 0.460 0.336 0.301
AOQ 0.0027 0.00332 .00349

20101129 64
Comparison of Cost Alternatives
 No Inspection
NpD
 100% Inspection
NC
 Sampling
nC + (N-n)pDPa + (N-n)(1-Pa)C
D = Cost if defective passes; C = Inspection cost/item

20101129 65
Sample Size Break-Even Point
nBE = D/C
D = Cost if defective passes; C = Inspection cost/item
