Percentage Points for the Distribution of Outgoing Quality

Abstract When a consumer buys only a few lots from a producer according to some scheme based on the results of sampling inspection, he should not depend on the average outgoing quality limit as being the upper bound on the defectiveness of the lots he buys. The consumer should, in fact, examine the percentage points of the distribution of outgoing quality. Approximate percentage points for the distribution of outgoing quality for a finite number of lots are found in this paper.
