252y032app 3/25/03 Solutions for first problem in Take-Home part of Second Exam

Variations on Solution: If your Social Security Number ended in 9. To summarize the information in the problem -

Defect Rate / <1 yr / 1-4 yr / 5-9yr / Total
High / 6 / 9 / 9 / 24
Average / 9 / 19 / 23 / 51
Low / 7 / 8 / 10 / 25
Total / 22 / 36 / 42 / 100

a) We are comparing , and .

Our we are testing . So the null hypothesis is

a) Let . So and our hypotheses become and . or and .

,

Note that and that and are between zero and one.

Use one of the following:

Confidence interval: Since the alternate hypothesis is , the confidence interval will be or . This does not contradict since any value of between 0 and .1412 satisfies both the null hypothesis and the confidence interval, so do not reject .

Test ratio: . Make a diagram of a Normal curve with zero in the middle. The ‘reject’ zone is the area below . Since the test ratio is not in this zone, do not reject .

Critical value: Because the alternate hypothesis is , we need a critical value below zero. Use Make a diagram of a Normal curve with zero in the middle. The ‘reject’ zone is the area below -.1574. Since is not in this zone, do not reject .

b) The p-value for this problem is Since this is not below do not reject .

c) or -.2031 to .1713
