Ac:-Acceptance number: Max. no. of defectives allowed in the sample for the acceptance of the lot.
Rc:-Rejection number: Min.no. of defectives in the sample resulting in the lot's rejection.
PROCEDURE FOR OPERATING THIS PLAN : Suppose the lot size is 1,000. From table chose the class,
which includes 1,000 viz 501 - 1200. Hence, use the sampling plan given against this class.Take a
sample of 50 pieces and test for hardness.
