Abstract
A two-stage group acceptance sampling plan for the percentile of lifetimes which have the Burr type X distribution is discussed under the time truncated life test. The sampling plan parameters for the two-stage sampling plan are determined such that the producer's risk and consumer's risk are satisfied simultaneously for the given tester size and experiment time. The advantage of the proposed two-stage sampling plan over the single-stage sampling plan is also discussed. Useful tables are given for practical purpose.
