The estimated proportion of defective in the population is 0.05 and the 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion defective is (0.025,0.075).

Given :

Zack Schadek, the owner, received a large shipment this morning. To ensure the quality of the shipment, he selected a random sample of 300 cups and inspected them for defects. He found 15 to be defective.

a) The formula given below is used in order to determine the estimated proportion of defective in the population.

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{X}{n}$

$\hat{p} = \dfrac{15}{300}$

$\hat{p} = 0.05$

So, the estimated proportion of defective in the population is 0.05.

b) The below formula is used in order to determine the 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion defective.

$CI =\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha /2}\times \sqrt{ \dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

Now, substitute the known terms in the above expression.

$CI =0.05 \pm 1.96\times \sqrt{ \dfrac{0.05(1-0.05))}{300}}$

$CI = 0.05\pm 0.025$

So, the 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion defective is (0.025,0.075).

c) According to the given data, Zack has an agreement with his supplier that he is to return lots that are 10 percent or more defective.

So, from the above calculation, it can be concluded that he did not have to return the lots.

(a) The estimated proportion of defective in the population is 0.05.

(b) The 95% confidence interval for the proportion defective cups is (2.5%, 7.5%).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of defective cups.

The random sample of cups selected is of size, n = 300.

The number of defective cps in the sample is, X = 15.

(a)

The proportion of the defective cups in the population can be estimated by the sample proportion because the sample selected is quite large.

The sample proportion of defective cups is:

$\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{15}{300}=0.05$

Thus, the estimated proportion of defective in the population is 0.05.

(b)

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population proportion is:

$CI=\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

Compute the critical value of z for 95% confidence level as follows:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Compute the 95% confidence interval for p as follows:

$CI=\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

$=0.05 \pm 1.96\times\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{300}}$

$=0.05\pm 0.025\\=(0.025, 0.075)\\$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion defective cups is (2.5%, 7.5%).

(c)

It is provided that Zack has an agreement with his supplier that he is to return lots that are 10% or more defective.

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion defective is (2.5%, 7.5%). This implies that 95% of the lots have 2.5% to 7.5% defective items.

Thus, Zack does not needs to return the lots.

Me on this one i will give you 20pts. answer should be in detail . this is the discussion topic. one of the most fiercely debated topics in sports is the hot hand theory. the hot hand theory says that success breeds success. in other words, rather than each shot a basketball player takes or each at-bat a baseball player has being an independent event, the outcome of one event affects the next event. that is, a player can get hot and make a lot of shots in a row or get a lot of hits in a row. the hot hand theory, however, has been shown to be false in numerous academic studies. read this article, which discusses the hot hand theory as it relates to a professional basketball player. state whether you agree or disagree with the hot hand theory, and give reasons for your opinion. be sure to use some of the terms you’ve learned in this unit, such as independent event, dependent event, and conditional probability, in your answer.

Consider this equation. |y + 6| = 2 what can be concluded of the equation? check all that apply. there will be one solution. there will be two solutions. the solution to –(y + 6) = 2 will be also be a solution to the given absolute value equation. the solution(s) will be the number(s) on the number line 2 units away from –6. the value of y must be positive since the variable is inside absolute value signs.
