TerminologiesTerminologies• Sample – A sample consists of one or more units of a product drawn
from a lot or batch. The number of unit of a product is the sample size
• Lot or Batch – collection of units of a product from which a sample is to be drawn and inspected to determine conformance with the acceptability criteria.
• Percent Defective =
NO: of defective units/ no: of Inspected unit *100
• Process average – is the average per cent defective of a product submitted by the supplier for original Inspection
• AQL – Acceptable Quality Level – is the maximum percent defective that, for the purpose of sampling inspection can be considered satisfactory as a process average.( 2.5. 4.0, 6.5, 10.0)

Statistical AuditingStatistical Auditing
• When a sample lot is inspected from a lot of merchandise ( if the unit selected are true representation of the whole) the sample will give one a accurate projection of the true condition of the lot.
