A quality inspector draws a simple random sample of 40 bolts from a large shipment and measures the length of each. He finds that 34 of them, or 85%, meet a length specification. He concludes that exactly 85% of the bolts in the shipment meet the specification. The inspector's supervisor concludes that the proportion of good bolts is likely to be close to, but not exactly equal to, 85%. Which conclusion is appropriate

Answer:

H0 : P = 0.85

Ha : P ???=? 0.85

sample proportion 'p' = 34 / 40 = 0.85

In this context sample proportion is same as population proportion but other samples may vary with small differences

so

conclusion : the proportion of good bolts is likely to be close to, but not exactly equal to, 85%
