Despite this, the literature does not extensively cover acceptance sampling plans associated with these distributions. In this paper, variable acceptance sampling plans are designed for an exponential-Rayleigh mixture distribution using partially accelerated life tests (PALT). Under progressive type-II censoring schemes with binomial removals, the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the unknown parameters of the mixture distribution are derived for Arrhenius and linear life-stress relationships. Based on these relationships, optimal variable sampling plans are formulated and plan parameters are determined by solving corresponding optimization problems. The study presents numerical findings, a comparative analysis, and sensitivity assessments. Finally, the practical applicability and relevance of the proposed acceptance sampling plans are demonstrated using real-world datasets of breast cancer patients' records and failure lifetime data from communication transmitter-receivers in a commercial aircraft.
