The steeper an OC (Operating Characteristic) curve, the better it discriminates between good and bad lots in acceptance sampling. The OC curve represents the probability of accepting a lot of products based on the quality level of the lot. A steep curve indicates a smaller chance of accepting a bad lot and rejecting a good lot, which is desirable in acceptance sampling. The other statements are false: acceptance sampling does not remove all defective items, it is not replacing statistical process control, and it is not continuous along the assembly line.
