QUESTION

Large batches of components are delivered to two factories $A$
   and $B.$ Each batch is subjected to an acceptance sampling scheme
   as follows:

   Factory $A$: Accept the batch if a random sample of 10 components
   contains less than 2 defectives. Otherwise reject the batch.

   Factory $B$:Take a random sample of 5 components. Accept the
   batch if this sample contains no defectives. Reject the batch
   if this sample contains 2 or more defectives. If the sample
   contains 1 defective, take a further sample of 5 and accept the
   batch if this sample contains no defectives.

   If the fraction defective in the batch is $p,$ find the
   probabilities of accepting a batch under each scheme.

   Write down an expression for the average number sampled in
   factory $B$ and find its maximum value.

ANSWER

 $n=10,$ $p$=proportion defective.\\
   $A$: accept if less than 2 defectives.
   $P$(accept)$=q^{10}=10q^9p=(1-p)^9(1+9p)$

Accept} \put(3.8,3.2){$(1-p)^5$}

   $P$(accept)$=(1-p)^5+5p(1-p)^9$

   Expected number sampled$=5+5\times 5p(1-p)^4=E\\
   \frac{\partial E}{\partial p}=-25p(1-p)^3\times 4 +25(1-p)^4=0$
    when $4p=1-p\ \ p=0.2$
    
$E=5+5\times 0.8^4=7.048$ (check
   $\frac{\partial^2 E}{\partial p^2}\leq 0$ when $p=0.2$).
