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

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>

A swimming pool had 2.5 liters of water in it. Some water evaporated, and then the pool only had 2 million liters of water in it
djyliett [7]
Hi!

If I have done this correctly, then the answer is:

2 million is 80% of 2.5

That means that 20% of the water evaported.

The parallelogram has the angle measures shown. Can you conclude that it is a rhombus, a
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles add up to 144 degrees, so they can't be a rectangle or a square. Also, diagonals of rhombuses bisect the angles.

In a class of 100 students, 25 have hardcover and 75 students have paperback textbooks. If you randomly choose 15 students in th
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

23.72% probability that 3 of them have hardcover texts.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the students are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

If you randomly choose 15 students in this class, find the probability that 3 of them have hardcover texts.

Desired outcomes:

3 with hardcover texts, from a set of 25.

15-3 = 12 with paperback texts, from a set of 75. So

D = C_{25,3}*C_{75,12} = \frac{25!}{3!(22)!}*\frac{75!}{12!(63)!} = 6 \times 10^{16}

Total outcomes:

15 students from a set of 100. So

T = C_{100,15} = \frac{100!}{15!85!} = 2.53 \times 10^{17}

Probability:

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{6 \times 10^{16}}{2.53 \times 10^{17}} = 0.2372

23.72% probability that 3 of them have hardcover texts.

Find the missing side of a triangle when one side is 3.16 and the other is 3
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

0.992774 ≅ .993

Step-by-step explanation:

a²+b²=c²

a=x

b=3

c=3.16

x²+3²=3.16²

x²+9=9.9856

x²=.9856

x=0.992774

x≅0.993
