Question
A random sample of $n$ items is selected from the large number of items produced by a certain production line in one day. Find the MLE of the ratio $R$, the proportion of defective items divided by the proportion of good items.
Step 1
We are given that $R$ is the ratio of the proportion of defective items to the proportion of good items. This can be written as $R = \frac{1-p}{p}$, where $p$ is the proportion of good items. Show more…

Of the items produced daily by a factory, $40 \%$ come from line 1 and $60 \%$ from line II. Line I has a defect rate of $8 \%,$ whereas line II has a defect rate of $10 \% .$ If an item is chosen at random from the day's production, find the probability that it will not be defective.
