One division of a large defense contractor manufactures telecommunication equipment for the military. This division reports that 12% of non-electrical components are reworked. Management wants to determine if this percentage is the same as the percentage rework for the company's electrical components. The Quality Control Department plans to check a random sample of the over 10,000 electrical components manufactured across all divisions. The 95% confidence interval based on this data is. 0758 to. 1339. Should management conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components?

    At the 95% confidence level, management should not conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components, since the upper bound of the confidene interval, which is 0.1339, is higher than 0.12.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To reach a conclusion, we have to observe the confidence interval.

    Should management conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components?

    Is the upper bound of the confidence interval lower than 12% = 0.12?

    If yes, it should conclude that this percentage is lower.

    Otherwise, it cannot conclude.

    Confidence interval:

    0.0758 to 0.1339

    0.1339 is higher than 0.12.

    So.

    At the 95% confidence level, management should not conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components, since the upper bound of the confidene interval, which is 0.1339, is higher than 0.12.

    We can not conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The 95% confidence interval tells us that the true mean of the percentage of rework for electrical components is between 0.0758 (7.58%) and 0.1339 (13.39%), with a degree of confidence of 95%.

    The value reported of 12% is included in this interval, so it is possible that the true mean for this value is 12%. In other words, we can not reject the hypothesis that the true percentge of rework is 12%.

    Then, we can not conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components.
