Answer:
The p value for this case would be given by:
For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 0.1 and then Company B can reject the shipment
Step-by-step explanation:
Information provided
n=400 represent the random sample taken
X=59 represent number of defectives from the company B
estimated proportion of defectives from the company B
is the value to verify
represent the significance level
z would represent the statistic
represent the p value
Hypothesis to test
We want to verify if the true proportion of defectives is higher than 0.1 then the system of hypothesis are.:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
The statistic would be given by:
(1)
Replacing the info given we got:
The p value for this case would be given by:
For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 0.1 and then Company B can reject the shipment
Answer:
(a) -3/4
(b) -0.75
(c) -0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a bit hard to tell what constitutes an "iteration" when using the bisection method to approximate a polynomial root. For the purpose here, we'll say one iteration consists of ...
- evaluating the function at the midpoint of the bracketing interval
- choosing a smaller bracketing interval
- identifying the x-value known to be closest to the solution
Thus, the result of the iteration consists of a bracketing interval and the choice of one of the interval's ends as the solution approximation.

(a) We observe that the graphs intersect in the interval (-1, 0). For the first iteration, we evaluate f(x)-g(x) at x=-1/2. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-1, -1/2). The x-value closest to the root is x=-1/2.
For the second iteration, we evaluate the function f(x)-g(x) at x=-3/4. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-1, -3/4). The x-value closest to the root is x=-3/4.
For the third iteration, we evaluate the function f(x)-g(x) at x=-7/8. This tells us the solution is in the interval (-7/8, -3/4). The x-value closest to the root is x=-3/4.
__
(b) The graph tells us the solution is approximately 0.7549. Rounded to 2 decimal places, the solution is approximately 0.75.
__
(c) The above solution found after 3 iterations rounded to 2 decimal places is exactly 0.75.

<em>Comment on bisection iteration</em>
Since you cut the interval containing the root in half with each iteration, you gain approximately one decimal place for each 3 iterations. When the function value is very nearly zero at one of the interval endpoints, it can take many more iterations to achieve a better result.
Here, it takes 4 more iterations before an x-value becomes closer to the solution (x≈-97/128). And it takes one more iteration to move the end of the interval away from -3/4. After these 5 more iterations (8 total), the solution is known to lie in the interval (-97/128, -193/256). The corresponding solution approximation is -193/256. It is still only correct to 2 decimal places.
