His specifications, and the resulting plan, are shown on the POM for Windows output below.

Final Answer :
Pierre should select samples of size 175 from his lots of air cleaners. He should count the number of defects in each sample. If there are 4 or fewer defects, the lot passes inspection. If there are 5 or more defects, the lot fails inspection. Lots that fail can be handled several ways: they can be 100% inspected to remove defects; they can be sold at a discount; they can be destroyed; they can be sent back for rework, etc.
