(b) A light
bulb manufacturer requires no more than 10% defective light bulbs
if the manufacturing process is to be considered working.
- Assuming the manufacturing process is producing only 10%
defectives, what is the probability that a sample of 20 randomly
selected light bulbs will contain exactly 2 defective
light bulbs?
- Suppose the reliability of the manufacturing process is
unknown. In a random sample of 10 light bulbs 5 defectives
are found. Based on this result, the manufacturer wants to
determine the reliability of the manufacturing process. State the
null and alternative hypotheses
of this situation.

- If the manufacturing process was declared not to be
working properly based on the sample result in part (ii) when
the process is indeed working, explain what type of error
would it be?
- Calculate the probability of the error described in part
(iii).
- Can you use normal approximation to calculate the
probability values in question (b) (i) and (iv)? Why/Why not?
