Thus, the risk of rejecting a lot of good items is known as producer’s risk.

2. Consumer’s Risk

Sometimes it may happen that the quality of the lot is not good but the sample results show good quality units as such the consumer has to accept a defective lot.Such a risk is known as consumer’s risk.In other words,the probability of accepting a lot which has actually been satisfactory by the consumer according to a predetermined standard is known as consumer’s risk.
