Answer:
The p-value of the test is 0.0853 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A manufacturer of nails claims that only 4% of its nails are defective.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 4%, that is:
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is more than 4%, that is:
The test statistic is:
In which X is the sample mean, is the value tested at the null hypothesis,
is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
4% is tested at the null hypothesis
This means that
A random sample of 20 nails is selected, and it is found that two of them, 10%, are defective.
This means that
Value of the test statistic:
P-value of the test and decision:
Considering an standard significance level of 0.05.
The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.1, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.37.
Looking at the z-table, z = 1.37 has a p-value of 0.9147
1 - 0.9147 = 0.0853
The p-value of the test is 0.0853 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation.
Answer is
When it's powered numbers, remember to choose the one with the largest power. For example,
And
Choose 10, same goes to y, where you choose 7 not 4 since 7 is larger.
