Question
100%

A chemical reaction is run in which the usual yield is 70. A new process has been devised that should improve the yield. The claim is that it produces better yields more than 90% of the time. Let p be the probability of an increased yeild. The new process is tested 65 times. Let X denote the number or trials in which the yeild exceeds the 70 threshold. Is the normal approximation appropriate for this problem? If we agree to accept the claim(new process produces better yeilds more than 90% of the time) as true if X is at least 62 what is the probability that we accept the claim as true assuming p is equal to .9? How does the probability of seeing X equal at least 62 change if p is auctally only .85? How does this change if p is auctally .95?
