Question

Table1

Failure Rate
0.472
0.354
0.133
0.041

Table2:

Observed Frequency
32
15
9
4

The number of defects in printed circuit boards is hypothesized to have failure rates as given in table I.

A researcher believes that the failure rate is different than as illustrated in table I. She collects data and the observed failure rates of the printed ciruit board is given in table II.

Conduct a chi-squared test to determine if the collected data provide sufficient evidence to contradict the null hypothesis at a significance level of 0.05 that p0 = 0.472, p1 = .354, p2 = .133 and p4 = .041.

(Include the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, decision and conclusion along with the analysis)

Explanation / Answer

null hypothesis: failure rate is same as  illustrated in table

alternate hypothesis:failure rate is different from illustrated in table

at 0.05 level of significance ; critical value for 3 degree of freedom =7.814

as chi stat 3.4059 is less then critical value we can not reject null hypothesis and does not have sufficent evidence to conclude that  failure rate is different than as illustrated in table I.
