A machine, when working properly, produces 5% or less defective items. Whenever the machine produces significantly greater than

5% defective items, it needs repair. A random sample of 300 items taken from the production line contained 27 defective items. Test at the 1% significance level if the percentage of defective items produced by this machine is greater than 5%.

Answer:

The pvalue of the test is 0.0007 < 0.01, which means that we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis that the percentage of defective items produced by this machine is greater than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A machine, when working properly, produces 5% or less defective items.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

H_0: p \leq 0.05

Test if the percentage of defective items produced by this machine is greater than 5%.

This means that the alternate hypothesis is:

H_a: p > 0.05

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.

0.05 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.05, \sigma = \sqrt{0.05*0.95}

A random sample of 300 items taken from the production line contained 27 defective items.

This means that n = 300, X = \frac{27}{300} = 0.09

Value of the test statistic:

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

z = \frac{0.09 - 0.05}{\frac{\sqrt{0.05*0.95}}{\sqrt{300}}}

z = 3.18

Pvalue of the test:

Testing if the mean is greater than a value, which means that the pvalue of the test is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z = 3.18, which is the probability of a finding a sample proportion of 0.09 or higher.

Looking at the Z-table, Z = 3.18 has a pvalue of 0.9993

1 - 0.9993 = 0.0007

The pvalue of the test is 0.0007 < 0.01, which means that we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis that the percentage of defective items produced by this machine is greater than 5%.

99 X 99 X 99 / 9 - 99 /99 PLEASE EXPLAIN ;)
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

107810

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the order of operations! So we start with 99^3/9. That is 99^2*11. So now let’s do 99/99, it’s 1. So 99^2*11 is 107811, so the answer is 107810.

In the expression 3x-10 which would be the constant
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant is the part of the algebraic function or expression that does not change. In this case, as x changes, the constant -10 does not. Thus, -10 is the constant.

What is the mean number of people in each age range? Explain
RSB [31]
To find the mean you add all the numbers then divide by how many numbers there are :

8+16+12+11+8=55

in the equation there are 5 numbers, so you divide 55 by 5 : 

55÷5=11

the mean is 11

hope this helps
