Abstract

Lunt thought that it will be high enough for practical upper and lower limits within which the true value CERTAIN number of defectives, c, is observed purposes. is likely to lie. in a sample of n articles drawn at random Suppose c defectives are found in a random sample As an example, suppose that we find 1 defective from a large batch. Nothing else is known of n pieces. In the alignment chart giving a central in a sample of 50 then the values obtained from the about the batch. What inferences can be drawn as alignment charts are: estimate of batch quality, join the points corre­ to the true but unknown proportion Q of defectives sponding to these values of n and c on the appro­ in the lot? In his book An Engineers' Manual of priate scales. This joining line will cut the third scale Statistical Methods, Col. L. E. Simon gives several charts which help to answer this question.
