Answer:
The calculated value Z = 2 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance
Alternative Hypothesis is accepted
The proportion of defective tablets manufactured in this factory is less than 6%."
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
Given Population proportion P = 0.06
Sample size 'n' = 500
A random sample of 500 tablets from this factory is selected, and it is found that 20 of them were defective.
Sample proportion
[tex]p^{-} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{20}{500} =0.04[/tex]
Null hypothesis :H₀: P = 0.06
Alternative Hypothesis :H₁:P<0.06
Level of significance = 0.05
Z₀.₀₅ = 1.96
Step(ii):-
Test statistic
[tex]Z = \frac{p^{-} -P}{\sqrt{\frac{P Q}{n} } }[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.04 -0.06}{\sqrt{\frac{0.06 X 0.94}{500} } }[/tex]
Z = - 2
|Z|= |-2| = 2
Step(iii):-
The calculated value Z = 2 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance
Null hypothesis is rejected
Alternative Hypothesis is accepted
The proportion of defective tablets manufactured in this factory is less than 6%."
