De vraag werd correct beantwoord. Uit de tabel kunnen we afleiden dat we, om zulke lage kans op type 1 en 2 errors aan te houden, de sample size zeer sterk moeten verhogen (van 27 naar 32467). Dit zou echter zoveel tijd en geld kosten dat dit niet haalbaar is.

Dit is een goede conclusie! Het is inderdaad zo dat men door een verhoging van de steekproefgrootte een beter beeld zal krijgen. Maar om van 6% pakkans (zie Q3) naar 95% pakkans te gaan moet met 32466,5 steekproeven uitvoeren (i.p.v. 27). En zoals de student concludeert is dit tijdrovend en financieel onrealistisch.

De student merkt terrecht op dat daarvoor de steekproef vergroot dient te worden tot 32467. Zoals hij ook vermeldt, brengt dit zeer veel tijd en kosten met zich mee in de praktijk. Hier moet een duidelijke afweging gemaakt worden tussen kosten en baten.
