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=

ii.H1=

b. Appropriate test to test the hypothesis

c. Calculate the value of the test statistic. Test statistic =

d. P-value or t critical value=

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>

il63 [147K]

Answer:

D. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to plug in -2 to all the spots where x are. The new equation we have then is f(-2)= 2(-2)^2 - 3(-2) + 6. Then, we plug in the exponent to get 2(4) - 3(-2) + 6. We can then multiply to get 8 + 6 (since the three was negative as well) + 6, which equals 20.

What is the equation of a line passing through the point (a, b) and having a slope of b?
andreev551 [17]
The equation of a line that passes thruogh the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)

so
passing through (a,b) and having slope of b is
y-b=b(x-a)
