Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Setting alpha equal to 5 percent means that when a batch is better than AQL, there is a 5 percent chance it will still fail testing. This is because alpha represents the probability of a Type I error, which is the rejection of a good batch. The other options are not correct as they do not accurately reflect the meaning of alpha in a statistical context.
