A.
H0: p≠0.5
H1: p=0.5
 
B.
H0: p=0.5
H1: p<0.5
 
C.
H0: p=0.5
H1: p≠0.5
 
D.
H0: p>0.5
H1: p=0.5
 
E.
H0: p<0.5
H1: p=0.5
 
F.
H0: p=0.5
H1: p>0.5
What is the test​ statistic?
 
What is the​ P-value?
 
What is the conclusion about the null​ hypothesis?
 
A.
Fail to reject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to
the significance​ level,
α.
 
B.
Reject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greater than
the significance​ level,
α.
 
C.
Reject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to
the significance​ level,
α.
 
D.
Fail to reject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greater than
the significance​ level,
α.
What is the final​ conclusion?
 
A.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to support the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
 
B.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
