whats the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your mail order company advertises that it ships 95% of its orders within three working days. you selecet an srs of 100 of he 5,000 orders received in the past week for an audit. the audit reveals that only 91 of these orders were shipped on time. a. what is the sample proportion of orders shipped on time? b)if the company really ships 95% of its orders on time, what is the probability that the proportion in an SRSof 100 orders is as small as the proportion in your sample or smaller? c) a critic says, "aha you claim 95% but in your sample the on time percentage is lower than that. so the 95% claim is wrong. Does your probability calculation in b support or refute the 95% claim.

@jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am sure a is 0.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my friend took this class before so she said thats the answer for a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.. that doesnt help me much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any suggestions?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

one moment, I'm reading through this http://courses.wcupa.edu/rbove/Berenson/10th%20ed%20CD-ROM%20topics/section7_3.pdf to make sure I have the idea down correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, take your time. I have to go run some errands and I will be back

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

srs = simple random sample x = 91 is the number of successes (number that arrived on time) n = 100 is the sample size N = 5000 is the population size. \[\Large \hat{p} = \text{Sample proportion} = \frac{x}{n} = ??\] let me know what you get for the value of \(\Large \hat{p}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.09

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

way too small, try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.91

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for part b, what would i do

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that's all we need for a)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for part b), there's going to be a bit more steps

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok so essentially we have this sort of distribution |dw:1430708929330:dw|
