Question
A factory, producing plastic gifts for a fast food restaurant’s Jolly meals, claims that just 1% of the toys produced are faulty.
A restaurant manager wants to test this claim. A box of 200 toys is delivered to the restaurant. The manager checks all the toys in this box and four toys are found to be faulty.
The restaurant manager performs a one-tailed hypothesis test, at the 10% significance level, to determine whether the factory’s claim is reasonable. It is known that faults in the toys occur independently.
Identify the type of sampling used by the restaurant manager.
Write down the null and alternative hypotheses.
Find the p-value for the test.
State the conclusion of the test. Give a reason for your answer.
