Attributes sampling is a statistical method used to estimate the proportion of items in a population containing a characteristic of interest. It involves randomly selecting items from the population and examining them for the presence or absence of the characteristic. This method is commonly used in quality control and auditing to determine the level of compliance with certain standards or regulations. Population-proportional-to-size sampling, variables sampling, and estimation sampling are not specifically designed for estimating the proportion of items with a specific characteristic.
