1. A medical supplies company buys its supplies in bulk and redistributes them to doctor's offices and clinics. The receive thermometers in lots of 500 from the vendor. They are considering a sampling plan of n = 50 and c = 1.
a. Develop an OC curve for this sampling plan. (Use Poisson Tables)
We assume that the lot size N = 500 is very large, as compared to the sample size n = 50, so that removing the sample doesn't significantly change the remainder of the lot, no matter how many defects are in the sample. Then the distribution of the number of defectives, d, in a random sample of n items is approximately Poisson with parameters n and p, where p is the fraction of defectives per lot.
Steps to develop an OC curve:

• Find your sample size, n. Here, n = 50
• Find your fraction defect p. Take p = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, ......
• Multiply n*p
• Take c = d = 1
• From a Poisson table find your P(c)

The OC curve calculations are given ...
