Digital Switches, Inc., produces a product called the C3PO with an advertised 0.5% failure rate. A test of products shipped from the factory to the company's testing lab found a sample average failure rate of 0.45% with a sample standard deviation of 0.15% when a sample of n = 64 observations was studied.
