(a) (b) (C) Qick Express is responding to criticisms from customers about late delivery of parcels by initiating new procedures to alleviatethis problem. They have been assured that this change would result in a late rate of 10 percent. After 6 months of using the suggested new procedures, Qick Express decided to conduct an investigation into the late delivery claim by posting 21 parcels to various parts of the country. 5 parcels arrived late at their destinations. Calculate the estimate of the proportion of the parcels that arrived late. Then construct and interpret a 95 percent confidence interval for the population proportion of parcels that were delivered late. [6 marks] Without further calculations, at 5 percent significance level, can the Operations Manager conclude that the new procedures are alleviating the problem of late delivery of parcels? [2 marks] Without further calculations, if the confidence interval changes from 95 percent to 90 percent, what would happen to the interval? [2 marks] Explain why a 95 percent confidenceinterval can be used in hypothesis (d) testing at 5 percent significance level. [3 marks]
