In most acceptance sampling plans, when a lot is rejected, the entire lot is inspected and all defective items are replaced. When using this technique the AOQ
A) worsens (AOQ becomes a larger fraction) .
B) improves (AOQ becomes a smaller fraction) .
C) is not affected, but the AQL is improved.
D) is not affected.
E) falls to zero.
Acceptance Sampling
A statistical quality control method where a random sample of items from a lot is inspected to decide if the whole lot should be accepted or rejected.
Defective Items
Products that fail to meet quality standards or specifications, often resulting in returns or waste.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
When a lot is rejected and all defective items are replaced, the quality of the lot improves, and therefore the AOQ (Average Outgoing Quality) also improves. This is because the replacement of defective items brings the overall quality of the lot closer to the acceptable quality level (AQL).
