Hemispherical Conductor produces the 80J84 microprocessor, which the Sayle Company plans to use in a heart-lung machine. Because of the sensitivity of the application, Sayle has established a value of AQL of 0.001 and LTPD of 0.005. Sayle purchases the microprocessors in lots of 500 and tests 100 from each lot. The testing requires destruction of the microprocessor. The lot is rejected if any defectives are found in the inspection sample.

a) What are the values of , , and for this single-sampling acceptance plan?

b) Compute (producer's risk) and (consumer's risk) for this sampling plan (use the binomial distribution for your calculations).

c) In view of your answers to part (b), what problem(s) could Sayle run into?
