A manufacturer claims that fewer than 6% of its fax machines are defective.
\n" ); document.write( "In a random sample of 100 such fax machines, 5% are defective.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the p-value for testing the manufacturer's claim.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: p >= 0.06
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: p < 0.06 (claim)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "z(0.05) = (0.05-0.06)/sqrt(0.06*0.04/100) = -2.0412
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "p-value = P(z < -2.0412) = normalcdf(-100,-2.0412) = 0.0206
\n" ); document.write( "===========================================
\n" ); document.write( "The correct answer for the test statistic is -.421 and the p-value is .34
\n" ); document.write( "I'm asking for the step-by-step process in getting these two
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: As you can see, -0.421 is not the test stat, and 0.34
\n" ); document.write( "is not the p-value.
