A company manufactures 2,000 units of its flagship product in a day. The quality control department takes a random sample of 40

units to test for quality. The product is put through a wear-and-tear test to determine the number of days it could last. If the product has a lifespan of less than 26 days, it is considered defective. The table gives the sample data that a quality control manager collected.

Which statement is true about the population proportion of defective pieces in the 2,000 items?

a 5 pieces must be defective.

b 100 pieces must be defective.

c More than 100 pieces must be defective.

d The population proportion of defective pieces must be equal to the sample proportion.

e There is insufficient data to calculate the proportion of defective pieces.

Answer:

Option b is the correct answer.

b)   100 pieces must be defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the data of the number of days the 40 units of item would last,

39   31   38   40     29

32   33   39   35    32

32   27   30   31     27

30   29   34   36    25

30   32   38   35    40

29   32   31    26    26

32   26   30   40    32

39   37   25   29    34

Also,  If the product has a lifespan of less than 26 days, it is considered defective.

So, the number of items which are defective out of 40 items are: 2

Hence, the proportion of items that are defective out of 40 items are:

2/40=1/20

Hence, the number of defective items out of 2000 items are:

=\dfrac{1}{20}\times 2000\\\\=100

Hence, number of defective items out of 2000 are: 100

Hence, option a), c) and e) are  incorrect.

Also, the population proportion of defective items is:

1/20

and sample proportion is:

40/2000=1/50

as both are not equal.

Hence option d) is incorrect.

It's 100

Because You multiply the sample proportion to 2000

An insurance company states that it settles 85% of all life insurance claims within 30 days. A consumer group asks the state ins
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is not enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

H_0: p \geq 0.85

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

H_0: p < 0.85

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

In which:

  • \overline{p} is the sample proportion.
  • p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis.
  • n is the sample size.

For this problem, the parameters are:

p = 0.85, n = 250, \overline{p} = \frac{203}{250} = 0.812

Hence the test statistic is:

z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

z = \frac{0.812 - 0.85}{\sqrt{\frac{0.85(0.15)}{250}}}

z = -1.68

<h3>What is the p-value and the conclusion</h3>

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value, and z = -1.68, the p-value is of 0.0465.

Since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

densk [106]
The amount of water that is needed to fill the pool is equal to the volume of the pool.

The pool is rectangular, with uniform depth so the volume of pool will be the product of its length , width and depth.

Thus,

Volume = 25 x 18 x 6 = 2700 ft³ 

This means, 2700 ft³ water is needed to fill the pool.

Herbert has sold 99, 37, 86, and 73 copeirs in the last 4 months, respectivly. How many copiers will he need to sell this month
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Therefore 80 ceperies will he need to sell this month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average: Average is the ratio of sum of all numbers to the total number present in the data.

Given that Herbert has sold 99, 37, 86 and 73 copeirs in the last 4 months.

Let he need to sell x copeirs in this month.

According to the problem,

\frac{99+37+86+73+x}{5}=75

⇒ 99+37+86+73+x= 75×5

⇒295 + x= 375

⇒x = 375 - 295

⇒ x= 80

Therefore 80 ceperies will he need to sell this month.
