Company A makes a large shipment to Company B. Company B can reject the shipment if they can conclude that the proportion of def

ective items in the shipment is larger than 0.1. In a sample of 400 items from the shipment, Company B finds that 53 are defective. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test for Company B using a 0.1 level of significance.
a) What are the appropriate hypotheses?

H0: p = 0.1 versus Ha: p ≠ 0.1

H0: p = 0.1 versus Ha: p > 0.1 (I got this as the correct answer)

H0: p = 0.1 versus Ha: p < 0.1

H0: μ = 0.1 versus Ha: μ > 0.1

b) What is the test statistic? Give your answer to four decimal places. -> the corret answer I got is 2.16666

c) What is the critical point for the test? Give your answer to four decimal places. -> the incorrect answer I got is 1.64868

d) What is the appropriate conclusion?

- Fail to reject the claim that the defective proportion in the shipment is 0.1 because the test statistic is smaller than the critical point.

- Conclude that the defective proportion in the shipment is greater than 0.1 because the test statistic is smaller than the critical point.

- Fail to reject the claim that the defective proportion in the shipment is 0.1 because the test statistic is larger than the critical point. (This is the answer I picked and it is incorrect)

- Conclude that the defective proportion in the shipment is greater than 0.1 because the test statistic is larger than the critical point.

Answer: a) H_0: p=0.1\\H_a:p>0.1

b) 2.166666

c) 1.2816

d) Conclude that the defective proportion in the shipment is greater than 0.1 because the test statistic is larger than the critical point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion.

As per given , Company B can reject the shipment if they can conclude that the proportion of defective items in the shipment is larger than 0.1.

Thus, the appropriate hypotheses :

a) H_0: p=0.1\\H_a:p>0.1, since alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.

Also , n=400

sample proportion of defective : \hat{p}=\dfrac{53}{400}=0.1325

b) Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

z=\dfrac{0.1325-0.1}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.1(1-0.1)}{400}}}\approx2.1666666

c) Using , z-value table ,

Critical value for 0.1 level of significance.:z_{0.1}=1.2816

Since, the test statistic value(2.166666) is greater than the critical value (1.2816) so we reject the null hypothesis.

d) Conclusion: We conclude that the defective proportion in the shipment is greater than 0.1 because the test statistic is larger than the critical point.

Para hacer una ración de puré de papa se necesita 1/5 de kg. ¿Cuántas raciones se pueden hacer con 7/4 de kg?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Cantidad de raciones=  8.75 raciones

Step-by-step explanation:

Dada la siguiente información:

Para hacer una ración de puré de papa se necesita 1/5 de kg.

<u>Vamos a pasar las cantidades a décimales:</u>

Ración puré= 0.2kg

Kg de papa= 7/4= 1.75 kg

<u>Ahora, dividimos la cantidad total por la cantidad unitaria:</u>

Cantidad de raciones= 1.75/0.2

Cantidad de raciones=  8.75 raciones
