Question:
A certain type of flashlight is sold with the four batteries included. A random sample of 150 flashlights is obtained, and the number of defective batteries in each is determined, resulting in the following data:
Let X be the number of defective batteries in a randomly selected flashlight. Test the null hypothesis that the distribution of X is Bin(4, ). That is, with pi P(i defectives), test H0: pi i
(1 )4i i 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
[Hint: To obtain the mle of , write the likelihood (the function to be maximized) as u
(1 )v
, where the exponents u and v are linear functions of the cell counts. Then take the natural log, differentiate with respect to , equate the result to 0, and solve for
ˆ.]
