Question
Proctor & Gamble claims that at least half the bars of Ivory soap they produce are 99.44% pure (or more pure) as advertised. Unilever, one of Proctor & Gamble's competitors, wishes to put this claim to the test. They sample the purity of 101 bars of Ivory soap. They find that 46 of them meet the 99.44% purity advertised.

- Compute the value of the test statistic and conclude.arrow_forwardThe average worker at a local brake manufacturer produces 10 brakes per day (other statistical information was not known). An industrial psychologist was hired to increase worker productivity and a new assembly method was designed and tested in a sample of workers. Identify the appropriate test. Select one: a. independent samples t test b. z test c. single sample t test d. paired samples t testarrow_forwardThe control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. When 1.25%o or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of defective light bulbs in a sample of 4400 when there is no malfunction. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(p N 0.0125), which is the probability that the service technicians will be called even though the system is functioning properly. Round your answer to four decimal places.arrow_forward
- A sample of 900 computer chips revealed that 68% of the chips fell in the first 1000 hours of their use. The companies promotional literature states that 67% of the chips fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The quality control manager wants to test the claim that the actual percentage that fail is different from the stated percentage. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimals.arrow_forwardIn a recent year, the Better Business Bureau settled 73% of complaints they received. You have been hired by the Bureau to investigate complaints this year involving computer stores. You plan to select a random sample of complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for the computer stores is 0.73, as mentioned above. Suppose your sample size is 113. DO NOT USE THE EXCEL FORMULA. CALCULATE BY HAND OR WITH A CALCULATOR. 1. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 4 percent of the population proportion?arrow_forwardHistorically, Olympic officials have reported testosterone levels in general should be u = 538 ng/dL, with o = 189, with x being normally distributed. Summer Olympic sprinters (n = 8) from the U.S. were tested for testosterone levels the morning after the opening ceremonies. Their sample mean was ng/dL. Do these data indicate that the sprinters had an overall average testosterone level greater than 538? Use a = .05. State a, H,, H1, p-value, rejection, or non-rejection, and be certain to interpret your results.arrow_forward
- For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding. Small Businesses is interested in the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Since there are so many small businesses, the National Council intends to estimate the proportion The National Council from a random sample. Let p be the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. (a) If no preliminary sample is taken to estimate p, how large a sample is necessary to be 99% sure that a point estimate p will be within a distance of 0.09 from p? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) small businesses (b) In a preliminary random sample of 30 small businesses, it was found that twelve had declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. How many more small businesses should be included in the sample to be 99% sure that a point estimate p will be within a distance of 0.090 from p?
