Bolts Random samples of 200 bolts manufactured by a type A machine and 200 bolts manufactured by a type $\mathrm{B}$ machine showed 16 and 8 defective bolts, respectively. Do these data present sufficient evidence to suggest a difference in the performance of the machine types? Use $\alpha=.05 .$

Step 1
- The alternative hypothesis ($H_a$) states that there is a difference in the performance of the two machine types, meaning the proportion of defective bolts produced by machine type A is not equal to the proportion of defective bolts produced by machine type B. Show more…

A bolt manufacturer is very concerned about the consistency with which his machines produce bolts. The bolts should be 0.29 centimeters in diameter. The variance of the bolts should be 0.025. A random sample of 13 bolts has an average diameter of 0.3 cm with a standard deviation of 0.3022. Can the manufacturer conclude that the bolts vary by more than the required variance at a 0.025 level? Step 1 of 5: State the hypotheses in terms of the standard deviation. Round the standard deviation to four decimal places when necessary.

A machine produces bolts with an average diameter of 0.25 in. and a standard deviation of 0.02 in. What is the probability that a bolt will be produced with a diameter greater than 0.3 in.?
