Abstract

The author uses operating characteristic curves to examine the statistical risks associated with various test plans. Using binomial distribution examples, he shows how the supplier´s and procurer´s statistical risks can be understood prior to starting a test, thereby avoiding the selection of a test that accidentally loads the dice against the supplier. The formulae used to calculate operating characteristic curves using electronic spreadsheets are identified
