question 3

Short Answer

SCENARIO 18-5
A manufacturer of computer disks took samples of 240 disks on 15 consecutive days. The number of
disks with bad sectors was determined for each of these samples. The results are in the table that
follows. $\begin{array}{ccc} \underline{\text { Day }}& \underline{\text { Bad }} & \underline{ \% \mathrm{Bad}}\\1 & 9 & 0.037500 \\2 & 7 & 0.029167 \\3 & 4 & 0.016667 \\4 & 6 & 0.025000 \\5 & 8 & 0.033333 \\6 & 3 & 0.012500 \\7 & 6 & 0.025000 \\8 & 10 & 0.041667 \\9 & 16 & 0.06667 \\10 & 24 & 0.100000 \\11 & 15 & 0.062500 \\12 & 9 & 0.037500 \\13 & 4 & 0.016667 \\14 & 8 & 0.033333 \\15 & 6 & 0.025000\end{array}$
