Acceptance Sampling Plans: Size Biased Lomax Model

摘要

A new probability model size biased Lomax is considered for a life time random variable. The problem of acceptance sampling when the life test is truncated at a pre-assigned time is discussed with a known shape parameter. For various acceptance numbers, confidence levels and values of the ratio of the fixed experimental time to the specified mean life, the minimum sample size necessary to assure the specified mean life time is evaluated. The operating characteristic functions of the sampling plans are derived. Producer’s risk is also discussed. A table for the ratio of true mean life to a specified mean life that ensure acceptance with a pre-assigned probability is provided. The results are given by an example.
