Identify the P-VALUE used in a hypothesis test of the following claim and sample data: Claim: "The proportion of defective tablets manufactured in this factory is less than 6%."

A random sample of 500 tablets from this factory is selected, and it is found that 20 of them were defective. Test the claim at the 0.05 significance level.

The calculated value Z = 2 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

Alternative Hypothesis is accepted

The proportion of defective tablets manufactured in this factory is less than 6%."

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given Population proportion P = 0.06

Sample size 'n' = 500

A random sample of 500 tablets from this factory is selected, and it is found that 20 of them were defective.

Sample proportion

Null hypothesis :H₀: P = 0.06

Alternative Hypothesis :H₁:P<0.06

Level of significance = 0.05

Z₀.₀₅ = 1.96

Step(ii):-

       Test statistic

                        Z =  - 2

                    |Z|= |-2| = 2

Step(iii):-

The calculated value Z = 2 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

Alternative Hypothesis is accepted

The proportion of defective tablets manufactured in this factory is less than 6%."

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
