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>

The triangle below is equilateral. Find the length of side xx in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
mylen [45]

The length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is 8√3

<h3>How to find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Triangle type = Equilateral triangle

Height (h) = 12

Missing side length = x

The missing side length, x is calculated using the following sine ratio

sin(60) = Height/Missing side length

This gives

sin(60) = 12/x

Make x the subject of the formula

So, we have

x = 12/sin(60)

Evaluate the quotient

So, we have

x = 12/(√3/2)

This gives

x = 24/√3

Rationalize

x = 24/√3 * √3/√3

Evaluate

x = 8√3

Hence, the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is 8√3
