Most single sampling plans assume that the lot size is large compared with the sample size, and the calculated operating characteristic curves are strictly valid only under these conditions. In this article Dr Hamaker describes a simple method for finding the sample size and acceptance number appropriate to a lot of finite size, so that the resulting operating characteristic curve closely approximates to that for a given plan with an infinite lot.
