Acceptance Sample Size Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Acceptance Sample Size (S) is:

\[ \text{S} = \frac{L \times A}{100} \]

Where:

Acceptance Sample Size (S): A statistical measure used in quality control processes to determine the number of units to be tested from a larger lot. This sample size is used to make decisions about whether to accept or reject the entire lot based on the number of defective items found in the sample. The acceptance sample size is crucial in ensuring that the quality of products meets specified standards without the need to inspect every single item in the lot. This method helps in saving time and resources while maintaining quality control.

Let's say the lot size (L) is 1000 units and the acceptance number (A) is 5. Using the formula:

\[ \text{S} = \frac{1000 \times 5}{100} = 50 \]

So, the acceptance sample size (S) is 50 units.
