The proportion of defective computers built by Byte Computer Corporation is 0.15. In an attempt to lower the defective rate, the

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis : H₀: the proportion of defective item of computer has been lowered. That is P < 0.15

Alternative hypothesis: H₁: 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 the proportion of defective item of computer has been lowered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given the sample size 'n' = 42

Given random sample of 42 computers were tested revealing a total of 4 defective computers.

The defective computers 'x' = 4

The sample proportion of defective computers

$p = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{4}{42} = 0.095$

Given The Population proportion 'P' = 0.15

The level of significance ∝=0.01

Step(ii):-

a) Null hypothesis : H₀: the proportion of defective item of computer has been lowered. That is P < 0.15

Alternative hypothesis: H₁: 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

Step(iii):-

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.

Conclusion:-

Hence the null hypothesis is accepted at 0.01 level of significance.

f)

The proportion of defective item of computer has been lowered.

A cereal company is exploring new cylinder-shaped containers. Two possible containers are shown in the diagram.x is 6 and r=4.5

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Container $\rm X$ will have less label area than container $\rm Y$ by about $9\; \rm in$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular sheet of paper can be rolled into a cylinder. Conversely, the lateral surface of a cylinder can be unrolled into a rectangle- without changing the area of that surface.

Indeed, the width of that rectangle will be the same as the height of the cylinder. On the other hand, the length of that rectangle should be exactly equal to the circumference of the circles on the top and the bottom of the cylinder. In other words, if a cylinder has a height of $h$ and a radius of $r$ at the top and the bottom, then its lateral surface can be unrolled into a rectangle of width $h$ and length $2\,\pi\, r$ .
