Write a ratio to compare the amounts below. Simplify

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.

arturo paid $8 in taxes on a purchase of $200. assuming the tac rate is the same, what would the tax be on a purchase of $150

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

you would take 1/4 away from 8 because 1/4 of $200 is 50 so that makes the taxes 2$
