A sample of 1100 computer chips revealed that 70% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotional literature states that 73% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The quality control manager wants to test the claim that the actual percentage that do not fail is different from the stated percentage. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use is different from 0.73 at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1100 represent the random sample taken

estimated proportion of chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use

is the value that we want to test

represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of interest is different from 0.73.:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

(1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level assumed for this case is. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use is different from 0.73 at 5% of significance.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
