Suppose a large shipment of stereos contained 3% defectives. If a sample of size 396 is selected, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 5%? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Solutions

Expert Solution

p = 0.03

n = 396

                           

                            = P(Z > 2.33)

                            = 1 - P(Z < 2.33)

                            = 1 - 0.9901

                            = 0.0099

Suppose that the proportion θ of defective items in a large shipment is unknown, and that the prior distribution of θ is a beta distribution for which the parameters are α = 2 and β = 200. If 100 items are selected at random from the shipment and if three of these items are found to be defective, what is the posterior distribution of θ?

Businesses often sample products to test the proportion of defectives. Suppose a company that assemble automobiles wants to check the quality of batteries it buys from a supplier. Out of each shipment of 1,000 batteries, they will take a sample of 10 and test them. Assuming that, in fact, 2% of the batteries are defective, how likely are they to reject a shipment? Generate the binomial table (Even though it may seem illogical, consider a defective to be a ‘success’...

A retailer discovers that 3 jars from his last shipment of Spiffy peanut butter contained between 15.85 and 15.92 oz of peanut butter, despite the labeling indicating that each jar should contain 16 oz. of peanut butter. He is wondering if Spiffy is cheating its customers by filling its jars with less product than advertised. He decides to measure the weight of 50 jars from the shipment and use hypothesis testing to verify this. (a) What are the null and...
