A. Simple random sample
B. Stratified sample
C. Cluster sample
D. Systematic sample
2. A factory produces light bulb for which the population proportion of light bulb with defective threads is 0.05 . A new technology has become available recently and the developer claims that the population proportion of light bulb with defective threads will be less than 0.05 . To test the validity of this claim, 400 light bulbs produced by the new technology are selected at random and the sample proportion of defective is computed. This result will be used to make decision as to whether or not the factory should invest in the new technology. The factory wants a significant level of 0.05 in their decision.
If a type I error is made in carrying out this test, what is the consequence to the factory?
A. They will invest in the new technology while it is no better than the current process being used.
B. They will not invest in the new technology while it is no better than the current process being used.
C. They will invest in the new technology while it is an improvement over the process currently being used.
D. They will not invest in the new technology while it is an improvement over the process currently being used.

Solution by Steps
step 1
A Type I error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis H0 H_0 when it is actually true. In this case, the null hypothesis is that the population proportion of defective light bulbs is μ0.05 \mu \leq 0.05
step 2
If a Type I error is made, the factory will conclude that the new technology is better (i.e., that the proportion of defective bulbs is less than 0.05) when, in fact, it is not. This means they will invest in the new technology unnecessarily
step 3
Therefore, the consequence of making a Type I error is that they will invest in the new technology while it is no better than the current process being used
Answer
A
Key Concept
Type I error in hypothesis testing
Explanation
A Type I error occurs when the null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected, leading to a false conclusion that a treatment or technology is effective when it is not.
