Equation (3.3) is the law of total probability. Stated in words, the law of total probability tells us that the probability of an event B occurring within a sample space partitioned into n, “Ai” parts is the sum total of the products of the probability that B could occur given that some event Ai has occurred times the probability that the event Ai could occur.

One basic and well-known application of conditional probabilities is Bayes' Theorem, which is also called the law of total probability. It can be found in any introductory probability textbook, such as [198]. It states the following.

In a Markov process, a knowledge of the state of a stochastic system at a given time is sufficient to determine what happens at the next step. In physical applications where the underlying stochastic process is Markovian, the goal is to obtain the probability of eventually reaching a particular state from the current state, expressed in the form of Chapman-Kolmogorov equations. In first step analysis, this is accomplished through the use of conditional probability and the Partition Theorem or the Law of Total Probability. We consider all possible first steps away from the current state and construct a probability balance of the contributions from each of these first step events that lead to the final state. Thus, let be the mutually exclusive first steps the process can take from current state. Then the probability that an event happens is given by

Assuming the cumulative probability of the track irregularity spectrum is at an operating speed of v, Equation (25) produces, corresponding to the cumulative probability p (, where denotes the random variable for DAFs, and denotes the random variable of ). The probability distribution of DAFs can be considered the marginal distribution of the joint distribution under the law of total probability. It can be derived from the conditional probability density function , expressed as:

For a given value of lifetime non-conforming rate δ, under the RGS plan, the acceptance probability of the lot denoted by can be computed as follows: such that can be calculated using Eq. (14) and is given as follows: Please note that is derived using the law of total probability and by conditioning on the event that acceptance of the lot happens at the sampling (). This can be stated as follows: This completes the calculation of the OC curve. Next, the optimization problem of the RGS plan will be discussed.
