Question
In a previous year, 61% of females aged 15 and older lived alone. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different today by conducting a random sample of 400
females aged 15 and older and finds that 240 are living alone. Is there sufficient evidence at the a = 0.05 level of significance to conclude the proportion has changed?
Because npo (1- Po)
10, the sample size is
5% of the population size, and the sample
the
requirements for testing the hypothesis
satisfied.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.
Họ:
(Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
versus H1:
Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
Zo
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Determine the P-value for this hypothesis test.
P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
State the conclusion for this hypothesis test.
O A. Reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence at the a = 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the proportion of females who are living alone has changed.
B. Do not reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence at the a = 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the proportion of females who are living alone has changed.
C. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence at the a = 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the proportion of females who are living alone has changed.
