Step 1 It is given that 51 out of 298 orders are not accurate. The sample proportion is 51298=0.17. The sample size is 298. For the confidence interval 90%, the two-tailed z value at 0.05 level of significance is 1.645. The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is calculated as follows: CI=p^±zα2p^(1p^)n
=0.171±(1.645)0.17(10.17)298
=0.171±0.036
=(0.135,0.207) Thus, the percentage of orders that is not accurate of restaurant A lies between 0.135 and 0.207. Step 2 The percentage of orders that are not accurate of restaurant B lies between 0.127 and 0.191. From the intervals it can be observed that neither restaurant appears to have a significant different percentage of orders that are not accurate because these two confidence intervals are overlapped.
