A manufacturer of nickel-hydrogen batteries randomly selects 100 nickel plates for test cells, cycles them a specified number of times, and determines that 14 of the plates have blistered.
a. Does this provide compelling evidence for concluding that more than 10% of all plates blister under such circumstances? State and test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of .05. In reaching your conclusion, what type of error might you have committed?
b. If it is really the case that 15% of all plates blister under these circumstances and a sample size of 100 is used, how likely is it that the null hypothesis of part (a) will not be rejected by the level .05 test? Answer this question for a sample size of 200.
c. How many plates would have to be tested to have β (.15) = .10for the test of part (a)?
