A production process produces electronic component parts. It is presumed that the probability of a defective part is 0.01. During a test of this presumption, 500 parts are sampled randomly and 15 defectives are observed. (a) What is your response to the presumption that the process is 1% defective

Respuesta :

Testing the hypothesis, we have that since the p-value of the test is 0 < 1, our response is that the presumption underestimates the proportion of defective parts.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion of defectives is of at most 1%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p \leq 0.01[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion of defectives is of more than 1%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.01[/tex]

The test statistic is given by:

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

From the sample, we have that:

[tex]n = 500, \overline{p} = \frac{15}{500} = 0.03[/tex]

Thus, the value of the test statistic is:

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

[tex]z = \frac{0.03 - 0.01}{\sqrt{\frac{0.01(0.99)}{500}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 4.49[/tex]

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 3%, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 4.49.

z = 4.49 has a p-value of 1.

1 - 1 = 0.

The p-value of the test is 0 < 1, which means that our response is that the presumption underestimates the proportion of defective parts.
