Two athletic shoe brands were studied to see which brand was manufactured with the least amount of defects. Brand A was found to

have 5 out of 600 pairs of shoes with a defect. Brand B was found to have 5 out of 250 pairs of shoes with a defect.
Which brand of shoes is most likely to have defects in their shoes? Explain your reasoning.

Brand B since the 5 defected occurs more often.

For every 250, 5 are defected, making the percent probability of it ever happening again is 2%,while Brand B only 0.0083%.

Answer:

Brand B is more likely to have more defects,because 250-5=245.245 divided by 250 is 98%.Brand A 600-5=595.595 divided by 600 is 99% so brand B is more likely to have defects.

The latest poll from ESPN asked fans what their favorite sport was, considering pro, college and highschool levels. Out of 1000

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Confidence interval is $0.2911$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 32% of fans sport is basketball as favorite sport. So total number of fans is,

$32\%\times 1000$

$= \dfrac{32}{100}\times 1000$

$=320$

So 320 fans favorite sport is basket ball.

Now find sample proportion ,

$\widehat{p}=\dfrac{number\:of\:people\:in\:the\:sample}{total\:number\:of\:people}$

Substituting the value,

$\widehat{p}=\dfrac{320}{1000}$

$\widehat{p}=0.320$

Formula for confidence interval is,

$CI=\widehat{p}\pm z\sqrt{\dfrac{\widehat{p}\left (1-\widehat{p}\right )}{n}}$

To calculate the z value.

$Confidence Level=1-\alpha$

$0.95=1-\alpha$

$0.05=\alpha$

Now divide above value by 2,

$\dfrac{0.05}{2}=\dfrac{\alpha}{2}$

$0.025=\dfrac{\alpha}{2}$

To find the value of z score calculate the area under the curve as follows

$A=\dfrac{1+CL}{2}$

$A=\dfrac{1+0.95}{2}$

$A=\dfrac{1.95}{2}$

$A=0.975$

On z table, find the value of 0.975. So the row corresponding to 0.975 is 1.9 and column corresponding to 0.975 is 0.06. Adding these two values the z score is 1.96.

or find the value from excel by using command as follows,

=NORM.S.INV(0.025)= -1.959963985

Now substituting the value,

$CI=0.320\pm 1.96\sqrt{\dfrac{0.320\left (1-0.320\right )}{1000}}$

$CI=0.320\pm 0.02891$

Lower end of the interval is,

$CI=0.320- 0.02891$

$CI=0.2911$

Upper end of the interval is,

$CI=0.320+ 0.02891$

$CI=0.3489$

Therefore 95% confidence interval is $0.2911$
