A random sample of 300 circuits generated 13 defectives.
Use the data to test the hypothesis
H0: p = 0.05 againstH1: p ≠ 0.05. Useα = 0.08. Find the P-value for thetest.
Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 12.3456).

Answer:

[tex]p_v =2*P(z<-0.5301)=0.5960[/tex]  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.08[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 8% of significance the true proportion of defectives is different from 0.05.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation n  

n=300 represent the random sample taken

X=13 represent the defectives

[tex]\hat p=\frac{13}{300}=0.0433[/tex] estimated proportion of defectives

[tex]p_o=0.05[/tex] is the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha=0.08[/tex] represent the significance level

Confidence=92% or 0.92

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of defective is different from 0.05.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p=0.05[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p \neq 0.05[/tex]  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

[tex]z=\frac{0.0433-0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{300}}}=-0.5301[/tex]  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided [tex]\alpha=0.08[/tex]. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

[tex]p_v =2*P(z<-0.5301)=0.5960[/tex]  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given [tex]\alpha=0.08[/tex] we have [tex]p_v>\alpha[/tex] so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 8% of significance the true proportion of defectives is different from 0.05.
