ANSWER:

Answer :

Step 1 of 4:

Given, we have two sample size, vender A ordered random sample of 100 parts, in that 12 were defectives.

vender B ordered random sample of 200 parts, in that 10 were defectives.

Let X follows binomial distribution with probability mass function is

P(x: n,p) =  (1 - p , x = 0, 1, 2, ….., n.

Where,

n = sample size

   = 5

x = random variable

p = probability of success

q = 1 - p (probability of failure)

The goal of the problem is

  1. We have to find the proportion of  parts from part A  that are defective and the uncertainty in the estimate.
  2. We have to find the proportion of  parts from part B  that are defective and the uncertainty in the estimat.
  3. We have to find the difference in the proportions, and the uncertainty in the estimate.
