Question

A tax accountant would like to test the claim that the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is less than 0.20. If the z− test statistic was calculated as z=−2.11, does the tax accountant have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis? Assume α=0.005.

Move the blue dot to choose the appropriate test (left-, right, or two-tailed). Then, use the graph below to show the test statistic, p-value, and the rejection region to make a conclusion about the hypothesis test.

Move the blue dot to choose the appropriate test

α=0.01

α=0.025

α=0.05

α=0.1

Significance level = 0.01

 

Select the correct answer below:

There is enough evidence to suggest the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is less than 0.20.

There is not enough evidence to suggest the proportion of individuals who owe when filing their taxes is less than 0.20.
