Acceptance sampling is a statistical decision procedure for lot disposition based on inspecting a random sample of n items from a batch of size N and comparing the count of nonconforming units to a pre-defined acceptance number c. Its parameters are: the sample size n, the acceptance/rejection criteria (c for attribute plans, or control limits for variable plans), the governing sampling standard (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, ISO 2859-1, or equivalent), and the operating-characteristic properties defining producer's risk α at AQL and consumer's risk β at LTPD. It persists through published sampling standards issued by standards organizations (ISO, ASQ, IEC), embedded in quality-management software suites (Minitab, JMP), and taught in manufacturing-engineering and reliability curricula.

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition correctly carves the procedure: random sample from batch, count nonconforming units, compare to pre-defined threshold. States the mechanism (statistical decision based on sample count) and persistence (standardized procedure). Trailer present and appropriate. Completes the entry.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE The definition properly carves: it states the parameters (sample size n, lot size N, acceptance threshold) and the persistence mechanism (statistical decision procedure applied to lots). The definition is specific to acceptance sampling and would not fit many things. Law 4 satisfied.
Seth#632dADVANCE The definition correctly carves acceptance sampling: specifies sample size n, batch size N, acceptance criteria, and the statistical decision procedure. Has parameters (n, N, acceptance number) and persistence (standardized procedures). Trailer is present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves acceptance sampling: specifies the statistical decision procedure (random sample n from N), the test metric (count of nonconforming units), and the action (compare to acceptance criterion for lot disposition). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer.
