The proportion of defective computers built by Byte Computer Corporation is 0.15. In an attempt to lower the defective rate, the

owner ordered some changes made in the assembly process. After the changes were put into effect, a random sample of 42 computers were tested revealing a total of 4 defective computers. Perform the appropriate test of hypothesis to determine whether the proportion of defective computer has been lowered. Use alpha=0.01
a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis

i.H0=

Answer:

a)<em> Null hypothesis : H₀</em>:  the proportion of defective item of computer has been lowered. That is P < 0.15

<u><em>Alternative hypothesis: H₁:</em></u> The proportion of defective item of computer

has been higher. That is P> 0.15 (Right tailed test)

b)    Test statistic   Z = \frac{p-P}{\sqrt{\frac{PQ}{n} } }

c)     Calculate the value of the test statistic = 0.991

d) The critical value at 0.01 level of significance = Z₀.₀₁ = 2.57

e) Null hypothesis accepted at 0.01 level of significance

f) we accepted null hypothesis.

  Hence t<em>he proportion of defective item of computer has been lowered. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step(i)</u>:-

<em>Given the sample size 'n' = 42</em>

Given random sample of 42 computers were tested revealing a total of 4 defective computers.

The defective computers 'x' = 4

<em>The sample proportion of defective computers </em>

                                                                p = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{4}{42} = 0.095

<em>Given The Population proportion 'P' = 0.15</em>

<em>The level of significance ∝=0.01</em>

<u>Step(ii)</u>:-

a)<em> Null hypothesis : H₀</em>:  the proportion of defective item of computer has been lowered. That is P < 0.15

<u><em>Alternative hypothesis: H₁:</em></u> The proportion of defective item of computer

has been higher. That is P> 0.15 (Right tailed test)

b)

    Test statistic   Z = \frac{p-P}{\sqrt{\frac{PQ}{n} } }

                       

c)      

                 Z = \frac{0.095-0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(0.85)}{42} } }

                 z = \frac{-0.055}{\sqrt{0.00303} } = - 0.9991      

                     

  Calculate the value of the test statistic Z = - 0.9991

                                   |Z| = |- 0.9991| = 0.991

<u>Step(iii)</u>:-

d)

        The critical value at 0.01 level of significance = Z₀.₀₁ = 2.57

e)   Calculate the value of the test statistic Z = 0.991 < 2.57  at 0.01 level of significance.

<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:-

    Hence the null hypothesis is accepted at 0.01 level of significance.

f)

<em>     The proportion of defective item of computer has been lowered.</em>

Problem page the sum of two numbers is 56 . the smaller number is 16 less than the larger number. what are the numbers?
igomit [66]
Create equations using the given information
1) x+y=56
2) y=x-16
Substitute the value of y into the 1st equation and simplify
1)x+x-16=56
   2x=72
   x=36
Substitute the value of x into the 1st equation and simplify
1)x+y=56
   36+y=56
   y=20

Answer: 20 and 36

A monkey is swinging from a tree. On the first swing, she passes through an arc whose length is 24 m 24 m24, start text, space,
Alchen [17]

Answer:

24(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

A monkey is swinging from a tree. On the first swing, she passes through an arc whose length is 24 m. With each swing, she travels along an arc that is half as long as the arc of the previous swing. Which expression gives the total length the monkey swings in her first n swings?

<u>Solution:</u>

First Swing:

24 m

Second Swing:

Half of first, so

24(1/2)

Third Swing:

Half of second, so:

24(1/2)(1/2)

Fourth Swing:

24(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)

So we see the general formula as:

24(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

<u>Note:</u> n -1 because (1/2) plays a role from second swing, which is n - 1

where n is the number of swings
