Sample size computer program for the hypergeometric

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6720018
If a random sample of size n is drawn without replacement from a lot of size N, then the number (x) of defective items in the sample follows a hypergeometric distribution. Frequently an attribute sampling plan is desired in which the lot is accepted if the sample of size n contains c or fewer defectives, and otherwise, rejected. Guenther has given a procedure to establish such a plan which will determine the minimum n satisfying both the ..cap alpha.. (''Producer's'') risk and the ..beta.. (''Consumer's'') risk on the operating characteristic (OC) curve. The program given here, which is based on Guenther's procedure, calculates minimum sample sizes for acceptance numbers c = 0 (1) 10 for any lot size between 100 and 10,000. The program allows the user to input values of ..cap alpha.. = 0.001, 0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, 0.100, 0.200 and values of ..beta.. = 0.001, 0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, 0.100, 0.200. 3 figures.
