Scientists think that robots will play a crucial role in factories in the next several decades. Suppose that in an experiment to determine whether the use of robots to weave computer cables is feasible, a robot was used to assemble 507 cables. The cables were examined and there were 9 defectives. If human assemblers have a defect rate of 0.035 (3.5%), does this data support the hypothesis that the proportion of defectives is lower for robots than humans

    The data support the hypothesis that the proportion of defectives is lower for robots than humans.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To know if the proportion of defectives is lower for robots than humans so as to prove if the hypothesis is true.

    From the data given:

    Total number of cables a robot assembled = 507

    Defectives = 9

    To get the defect rate = the number of defects divided by the total number of cables, multiplied by 100.

    Defect rate = (9 / 507) x 100 = 0.01775 x 100

    Defect rate for the robot = 1.775‬%

    From the question, a robot was used and the defect rate after the calculation is 1.775‬%. While for humans, the defect rate is 3.5%. This implies, if humans were used to assembling the same 507 cables, there will be 17.745‬ defectives.

    x / 507 = 3.5%

    x (defectives) = 17.745‬

    Therefore, the data support the hypothesis that the proportion of defectives is lower for robots than humans.
