Question:
NDC Technology’s MM710e On-Line Snacks Gauge rapidly measures surface brownness of potato chips just before packaging. This allows for a high degree of control over this important characteristic of a potato chip; chips that are too brown are overfried, and chips that are not sufficiently brown are underfried. A potato chip manufacturer is now using the MM710e to assess the quality of the chips it produces; one of this manufacturer’s goals is to produce less than 1 overfried chip in every 1000 chips. In a recent random sample of 111,667 chips taken from the production lines of the manufacturer’s production facilities nationwide, the MM710e found 98 overfried chips. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the sample data indicates the manufacturer is meeting its goal for overfried chips at α = .05.
