Algebra.Com's Answer #374329 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the proportion of faulty products is supposed to be only 5%. Out of 400 supplies in a batch, 26 prove to be faulty. Verify the manufacturer’s claim. Use 0.05 level of significance. \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Ho: p = 0.05 \n" ); document.write( "Ha: p # 0.05 \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "p-hat = 26/400 = 0.0650 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "z(0.0650) = (0.0650-0.05)/sqrt(0.05*0.95/400) = 1.3765 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "p-value = 2*P(z>1.3765) = 0.1687 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Since the p-value is greater than 5%, fail to reject Ho \n" ); document.write( "at the 5% level of significance. \n" ); document.write( "=========== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
