Problem:
A sample of 800 items produced on a new machine showed that 48 of them are defective. The factory will get rid the machine if the data indicates that the proportion of defective items is significantly more than 5%. At a significance level of 5%, is there enough evidence to get rid of the machine? The following steps should be indicated in your answer:
Null and Alternative Hypothesis (both in symbols and statement form)
Level of Significance; sample size; test statistics
Decision Rule
Computation
Decision and Conclusion
Kindly answer
Problems pertain to the P-value approach to hypothesis testing.
How is the P-value of a hypothesis test actually determined?
