1 A manufacturer produces tiles. On average 10\% of the tiles produced are faulty. Faulty tiles occur randomly and independently.
A random sample of 18 tiles is selected.
- (A) Find the probability that there are exactly 2 faulty tiles in the sample.
(B) Find the probability that there are more than 2 faulty tiles in the sample.
(C) Find the expected number of faulty tiles in the sample.
A cheaper way of producing the tiles is introduced. The manufacturer believes that this may increase the proportion of faulty tiles. In order to check this, a random sample of 18 tiles produced using the cheaper process is selected and a hypothesis test is carried out. - (A) Write down suitable null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
(B) Explain why the alternative hypothesis has the form that it does. - Find the critical region for the test at the \(5 \%\) level, showing all of your calculations.
- In fact there are 4 faulty tiles in the sample. Complete the test, stating your conclusion clearly.
