Question

Below is data collected for the percentage of defective from a process (n=100). Sample 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. p = 0.04, 0.02, 0.05, 0.03, 0.06, 0.04, 0.03, 0.07, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.02, 0.02, 0.08, 0.03. What is the percentage of defective for sample 15?

1) 0.04%
2) 0.02%
3) 0.05%
4) 0.03%

Answer 1

The percentage of defective for sample 15 is 0.03, which equals 3% when expressed as a percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data represents the percentage of defective items found in a set of samples from a process, with each sample consisting of 100 items. For sample number 15, the provided defective percentage (p) is 0.03. To express this as a percentage, we multiply by 100, resulting in a 3% defective rate for sample 15. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4) 0.03%. This problem involves concepts of basic statistics and probability.
