What four elements determine the value of average outgoing quality? Why does this curve rise, peak, and fall?
Average Outgoing Quality
The average quality level of units shipped to customers after defective units have been screened out or corrected.
Curve
A smoothly flowing, continuous line or surface that differs from a straight path by its direction gradually changing.

Final Answer :
The four elements are the true percent defective of the lot, the probability of accepting the lot, the number of items in the lot, and the number of items in the sample. AOQ is near zero for very good output (which has few defects to find) and for very bad output (which often fails inspection and has its defects removed). AOQ has higher values for output of intermediate quality, for which the probability of rejection is not very high.
