Tiara, a quality assurance inspector at a chocolate factory, checks for product quality using a random sample of 18 pieces of chocolate from a batch of 60, wity 17 white chocolate and 43 dark chocolates. Let p be the proportion of white chocolates in the sample. Part A: Is the 10% condition met in thjs case? Justify your answer. Part B: Is the Normal condition met in this case? Justify your answer.​

Answer:

Part A

The 10% rule is not met

Part B

The normal condition is not met

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data of the pieces of chocolate are;

The number of chocolates in the sample, n = 18

The number of white chocolate in the batch = 17

The number of dark chocolates in the batch = 43

Given that [tex]\hat p[/tex] is the proportion of white chocolates in the sample, we have;

The proportion of white chocolates in the batch, p = 17/60 = 0.28[tex]\overline 3[/tex]

Part A

The 10% condition states that the size of the sample should be less than or equal to 10% of the population because taking samples without replacing them does not result in independent Bernoulli trials

The given sample size, n = 18, which is 18/60×100 = 30% > 10% of the batch, therefore, the 10% rule is not met in the present situation

Part B

The normal approximation can be assumed when we have;

n·p > 10 and n·p·(1 - p) > 10

By plugging in the values for 'n' and 'p', we have;

p = 0.28[tex]\overline 3[/tex] = 17/60

n·p = 18 × 17/60 = 5.1 < 10

n·p·(1 - p) = 18 × 17/60 × (1 - 17/60) = 3.655 < 10

Therefore the normal condition is not met.
