Question
An institute conducted a clinical trial of its methods for gender selection. The results showed that 173 of 315 babies born to parents using a specific gender-selection method were boys. Use the sign test and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the method has no effect
on the likelihood of a boy.
Let p denote the population proportion of baby boys. Ignore the possibility of the method decreasing the likelihood of a boy. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
O A. Ho: p=0.5
H₁: p≥0.5
O B. Ho: p=0.5
H₁: p0.5
O C. Ho:p>0.5
H₁: p=0.5
Find the test statistic.
Test statistic = (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Find the P-value.
P-value = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Determine the proper conclusion. Choose the correct answers below.
than the significance level,
Since the P-value is
C
the null hypothesis. There is
O D. Ho: p=0.5
H₁: p>0.5
evidence that the method used is effective in increasing the likelihood of a boy.
