An article reported that, in a study of a particular wafer inspection process, 356 dies were examined by an inspection probe and 163 of these passed the probe. Assuming a stable process, calculate a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Answer:

(0.4062, 0.5098)

Explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
\pi, and a confidence interval
1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.


\pi \pm z\sqrt{(\pi(1-\pi))/(n)}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
1 - (\alpha)/(2)

For this problem, we have that:

356 dies were examined by an inspection probe and 163 of these passed the probe. This means that
n = 365 and
\pi = (163)/(356) = 0.458

Assuming a stable process, calculate a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe.

So
\alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
1 - (0.05)/(2) = 0.975[tex], so [tex]z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:


\pi - z\sqrt{(\pi(1-\pi))/(n)} = 0.458 - 1.96\sqrt{(0.458*0.542)/(356)} = 0.4062

The upper limit of this interval is:


\pi + z\sqrt{(\pi(1-\pi))/(n)} = 0.458 + 1.96\sqrt{(0.458*0.542)/(356)} = 0.5098

The correct answer is

(0.4062, 0.5098)
