A sample of 900 computer chips revealed that 75% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotional literature claimed that above 72% do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to support the company's claim

Answer:

No the evidence is not sufficient

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample  size is  [tex]n = 900[/tex]

   The  sample  proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.75[/tex]

    The  population proportion is  [tex]p = 0.72[/tex]

The  Null hypothesis is

   [tex]H_o : p = 0.72[/tex]

The  Alternative  hypothesis is

   [tex]H_a : p > 0.72[/tex]

The level of significance is given as  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

The critical value for the level of significance is  [tex]t_{\alpha } = 1.645[/tex]

 Now the test statistic is mathematically evaluated as

          [tex]t = \frac{\r p - p }{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{\sqrt{n} } } }[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]t = \frac{ 0.75 - 0.72 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.72 (1-0.72)}{\sqrt{900} } } }[/tex]

        [tex]t = 0.366[/tex]

Since the critical value is  greater than the test statistics then the Null hypothesis is rejected which there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim
