OOps! Please ignore my previous message... On looking again John Wendel's query I see that the first time I misread it completely. Sorry. However the right way is not too dissimilar. By sufficiency you can view it as a sample of 200 vouchers, of which 10 are in error, and then find the value of p that puts your test statistic at the appropriate point of its null distribution. I get p = .0772 or p = .0833 as the one sided 95% upper limit, depending on how you define the rejection region. If you assume that p is fixed conditional on the batch, but random between batches, then that's a different problem, and one for which to my knowledge there is no exact procedure in any sense. The odd looking data, with nearly all 0 or 1 but also a 4 and a 5, gives just a hint that something like this might be going on, though. Sorry for the wasted message. I'm so embarrassed you can be sure I'll be more careful next time. -- Bill Venables, Dept. of Statistics, | Email: venables@stats.adelaide.edu.au Univ. of Adelaide, South Australia. | Tel: +61 8 228 5412 Fax: ...232 5670
