Answer:

Y = 12.

Explanation: Because 17- 5 is 12 and when you are doing problems like that, you are supposed to subtract the number behing the equal sign with the number in front of the equal sign. So, that would be 17- 5. And that gives you 12. So, Y=12.

In a simple random sample of 300 boards from this shipment, 12 fall outside these specifications. Calculate the lower confidence

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification is (1.8%, 6.2%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a random sample of 300 boards the number of boards that fall outside the specification is 12.

Compute the sample proportion of boards that fall outside the specification in this sample as follows:

$\hat p =\frac{12}{300}=0.04$

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population proportion p is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is,

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a z-table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all boards in this shipment that fall outside the specification as follows:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.04\pm1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.04(1-0.04)}{300}}\\=0.04\pm0.022\\=(0.018, 0.062)\\\approx(1.8\%, 6.2\%)$
