Answer:
Rule
If;
P-value > significance level --- accept Null hypothesis
P-value < significance level --- reject Null hypothesis
Z score > Z(at 90% confidence interval) ---- reject Null hypothesis
Z score < Z(at 90% confidence interval) ------ accept Null hypothesis
Null hypothesis: H0 = 0.60
Alternative hypothesis: Ha <> 0.62
z score = 1.35
P value = P(Z<-1.35) + P(Z>1.35) = 0.0885 + 0.0885= 0.177
Since z at 0.10 significance level is between -1.645 and +1.645 and the z score for the test (z = 1.35) falls with the region bounded by Z at 0.1 significance level. And also the two-tailed hypothesis P-value is 0.177 which is greater than 0.1. Then we can conclude that we don't have enough evidence to FAIL or reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that at 0.10 significance level the null hypothesis is valid.
Question; A sample of 1100 computer chips revealed that 62% of the chips fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotional literature states that 60% of the chips fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The quality control manager wants to test the claim that the actual percentage that fail is different from the stated percentage. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis, H0, at the 0.10 level.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
n=1100 represent the random sample taken
Null hypothesis: H0 = 0.60
Alternative hypothesis: Ha <> 0.62
Test statistic z score can be calculated with the formula below;
z = (p^−po)/√{po(1−po)/n}
Where,
z= Test statistics
n = Sample size = 1100
po = Null hypothesized value = 0.60
p^ = Observed proportion = 0.62
Substituting the values we have
z = (0.62-0.60)/√{0.60(1-0.60)/1100}
z = 1.354
z = 1.35
To determine the p value (test statistic) at 0.01 significance level, using a two tailed hypothesis.
P value = P(Z<-1.35) + P(Z>1.35) = 0.0885 + 0.0885= 0.177
Since z at 0.10 significance level is between -1.645 and +1.645 and the z score for the test (z = 1.35) falls with the region bounded by Z at 0.1 significance level. And also the two-tailed hypothesis P-value is 0.177 which is greater than 0.1. Then we can conclude that we don't have enough evidence to FAIL or reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that at 0.10 significance level the null hypothesis is valid.
