Step 1
Given;
Required; Find the point estimate of the proportion of defective units
Step 2
Since the mean of the samples is given as;
[tex]32.3[/tex]Defected pieces in the samples whose life span is less than 26 days = 2. That is 25 and 25.
Thus;
[tex]\frac{2}{40}=\frac{1}{20}=005[/tex]Answer; The point estimate of the proportion of defective units is;
[tex]0.05[/tex]
