Answer:

a) the mean percentage of defective item produced is 2.52 %

b) the standard deviation of percentage of defective item produced is 1.01%

       

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

the percentage of defective items produced was 2%, 1.4%, 4%, 3%, 2.2%.

sample size n = 5

a) Calculate the mean for these data

mean percentage of defective item produced will be;

x^{bar} = ∑x / n

x^{bar} = ∑x / n = ( 2% + 1.4% + 4% + 3% + 2.2% ) / 5

x^{bar}  = 12.6 / 5

x^{bar}  = 2.52 %

Therefore, the mean percentage of defective item produced is 2.52 %

b) Calculate the standard deviation for these data

Formula for standard deviation is;

S = √( (∑(x-x^{bar} )²) / (n-1) )

so we make a table;

x                   ( x - x^{bar} )%                ( x - x^{bar} )²%

2%                 -0.52                         0.2704

1.4%               -1.12                           1.2544

4%                  1.48                          2.1904  

3%                  0.48                         0.2304

2.2%.             -0.32                         0.1024

summation                                     4.048

so (∑(x-x^{bar} )² = 4.048%  

so we substitute the value into our equation;

S = √( (∑(x-x^{bar} )²) / (n-1) )

S = √( (4.048%) / (5-1) )

S = √( 4.048% / 4 )

S = √( 1.0121

S =  1.00598 % ≈ 1.01%

Therefore, the standard deviation of percentage of defective item produced is 1.01%
