Question 82

It is known that the proportion of components from a supplier that meet a specification is 0.42. A manufacturer believes this proportion has increased, and tests a random sample of 35 components at the 5% significance level. The random variable X X\,X is the number in the sample that meet the specification.

a.

Find the least value of X X\,X for which the null hypothesis would be rejected.

[4]
b.

Find the actual significance level of a test based on this critical region.

[1]
c.

In the sample, 22 components meet the specification. State the conclusion of the test in context.
