Answer:

sample proportion of defective items

Explanation:

The p-chart is a type of chart in which the sample is taken periodically from the production process, so as to determine if the population proportion of defective items in the sample falls within the control limits on the chart.

For a P-chart, as the sample size gets larger it turns more into a normal distribution making it possible to approximate the distribution of the proportion defective.
