If the number of primary samples to be taken is greater than approximately 10% of all the units in the batch, the number of primary samples to be taken can be less, and is calculated using the following formula: n = n0 that (1 + (n0-1))/N n – the minimum number of primary samples to be taken; No – the number of primary samples to be taken in accordance with this annex; N – number of units in the lot from which a primary sample can be obtained. 3. If a single primary sample is taken, the probability of detecting non-compliance is similar to the irregular occurrence of pesticide residues. 4. Accurate or alternative probabilities or the incidence of non-compliance of the different number of samples to be calculated using the following formula: p = 1-(1-i) n, where p-the probability (expressed as fractions, rather than as a percentage); I – non-compliant residues in the lot (expressed as parts and not as a percentage); n-the number of samples.
