    - Sampling errors are caused if selected samples do not truly represent the lot. It is a high possibility of accepting bad lot and rejecting good lot.

    - It affects the average quality of the accepted lot.

    - Different factors causing sampling errors are:

    1) Size of sample
    2) Method of sample selection
    3) Non homogeneity of lot
