A machining process produces screws for which the population proportion of screws with defective threads is .10(10%). A new laser-enhanced process has become available and the developer claims that the population proportion of screws with defective threads will be less than .10. To test the validity of this claim, 900 screws produced by the new process are selected at random and the sample proportion of defectives is computed. This result will be used to make a decision as to whether or not the manufacturer should invest in the new process. Required:
a. What should be used as the alternative hypothesis?
b. Determine the p-value of the test statistic if p ^ = 0.076.

Complete Question

A machining process produces screws for which the population proportion of screws with defective threads is .10 (10%). A new laser-enhanced process has become available and the developer claims that the population proportion of screws with defective threads will be less than .10. To test the validity of this claim, 900 screws produced by the new process are selected at random and the sample proportion of defectives is computed. This result will be used to make a decision as to whether or not the manufacturer should invest in the new process.

7) Which of the following should be used as the alternative hypothesis?

A) p = 0.10 B) C) D) p > 0.10 E) p < 0.10

8) Determine the p-value of the test statistic if (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

A) .9836 B) .0082 C) -.0082 D) .0164 E) .9918

7

The  correct option is  E

8

The  correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  population proportion is  

    The  claim :  the population proportion of screws with defective threads will be less than  

    The sample size is  n =  900  screws

The null hypothesis is

The alternative hypothesis is  

Generally  the reason why the above statement is the alternative hypothesis is because the statement for the null hypothesis must have an equality sign present, hence the alternative hypothesis then represents the claim

 Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

=>        

=>    

Generally  the p-value is mathematically represented as

From the z-table  

the clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. for example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

the tone of the first line of dialogue until "gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. the narrator is trying to the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

the clue that the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. it gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

the best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

the words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. the sentence: mister lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.
