e defect rate is 4% but the manager claims that this is only a sample fluctuation and production is not really out of control. At the 0.01 level of significance, test the manager's claim.

Answer:

The p-value of the test is of 0.2776 > 0.01, which means that the we accept the null hypothesis, that is, the manager's claim that this is only a sample fluctuation and production is not really out of control.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer considers his production process to be out of control when defects exceed 3%.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the production process is in control, that is, the defective proportion is of 3% or less. So

H_0: p \leq 0.03

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the production process is out of control, that is, the defective proportion exceeds 3%. So

H_1: p > 0.03

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.03 is tested at the null hypothesis

This means that \mu = 0.03, \sigma = \sqrt{0.03*0.97}

In a random sample of 100 items, the defect rate is 4%.

This means that n = 100, X = 0.04

Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.04 - 0.03}{\frac{\sqrt{0.03*0.97}}{\sqrt{100}}}

z = 0.59

P-value of the test

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.04, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 0.59.

Looking at the z-table, z = 0.59 has a p-value of 0.7224

1 - 0.7224 = 0.2776

The p-value of the test is of 0.2776 > 0.01, which means that the we accept the null hypothesis, that is, the manager's claim that this is only a sample fluctuation and production is not really out of control.

Which expression is equivalent to -1/12x-1/3?
hichkok12 [17]
B. If you multiply 1/12 by (-x) it's -1/12x and if you multiply 1/12 by (-4) it's -4/12 which is equivalent to -1/3.
