in order for a candy company to claim that a bridge mix is mostly chocolate stars, a proportion of at least 0.8 of the packages must contain 3 ounces or more of chocolate stars. Quality control tests a random sample of 50 packages to determine if the proportion is less than 0.8 at a significance level of 0.05. Use Sheet 6 of the Excel file to calculate p^, the z-score, and the p-value.



Answer :

The Z-value is Z=-2.121<Zcritical and the p-value is 0.0169 when percentage of at least 0.8 of the packages must include 3 ounces.

Given that,

A percentage of at least 0.8 of the packages must include 3 ounces or more of chocolate stars for a candy producer to assert that a bridge mix is predominantly chocolate stars. A random sample of 50 packages is tested by quality control to see if the proportion is less than 0.8 at a significance level of 0.05.

We have to determine p, the z-score, and the p-value, use Sheet 6 of the Excel document.

We know that,

In the picture there is a sheet 6.

N=50

n=34

Proportion pbar = n/N=34/50=0.68

H₀: p≥0.8

H₁: p<0.8

Z=pbar-p/√(p(1-p)/N

Z=0.68-0.8/√0.8(1-0.8)/50

Z=-2.121

α=0.05

Reject H₀ if Z<-Zcritical

Zcritical for one tailed (Left) = -1.6449

Z=-2.121<Zcritical

Reject H₀

P(Z < -2.121) = 0.0169

p-value = 0.0169

Since the p-value is less than significance level of 0.05 the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is sufficient data to draw the conclusion that, at the 0.05 level of significance, the proportion of packages containing 3 ounces or more of chocolate stars is less than 0.8.
