1/ Sample sizes are based upon the Poisson exponential binomial limit.
2/ The minimum quality (approximate acceptable quality level (AQL)) required to accept (on the average) 19 of 20 lots is shown in parenthesis for information only.
3/ Minimum size of sample to be tested to assure with a 90 percent confidence that a lot having percent-defective equal to the specified sample size series value will not be accepted (single sample).
