Answer:
the standard deviation of the sample is less than 0.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The sample size n = 100 units
The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042 which is the defective rate P-bar
The standard deviation of the machine([tex]S_p[/tex]) can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{ \overline P \times (1 - \overline P)} }{n}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (1 -0.042)} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (0.958)} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.040236} }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ 0.2005891323 }{100}[/tex]
[tex]S_p =0.002[/tex]
Thus , the standard deviation of the sample is less than 0.1
