How many exceptions did you observe in your sample of 25 (Recall the AR file has a population of 454 records)? Evaluate the sample at 90% confidence. Record the sample deviation rate and the 1-sided upper limit. If you can tolerate a deviation rate of 15% would you accept this control as effective? (Round your "1-Sided Upper Limit" to 2 decimal places.) Number exceptions 1-Sided upper limit
