A.
p​ = The proportion of all people who completed four years of college and​ don't smoke
 
B.
p​ = The proportion of all people who completed four years of college and smoke
 
C.
mu
 
​= The proportion of all people who completed four years of college and smoke
 
D.
mu
 
​= The mean number of people who completed four years of college and smoke
 
b. State the null and alternative hypotheses
 
 
A.
Upper H 0 : p equals 0.183 Upper H 1 : p less than 0.183
 
 
B.
Upper H 0 : mu not equals 0.27 Upper H 1 : mu equals 0.27
 
 
C.
Upper H 0 : p greater than 0.27 Upper H 1 : p equals 0.27
 
 
D.
Upper H 0 : p equals 0.27 Upper H 1 : p less than 0.27
 
 
c. Calculate the test statistic z. Which of these options is closest to​ z?
 
 
A.
negative 7.06
 
 
B.
negative 5.42
 
 
C.
negative 3.99
 
 
D.
negative 4.45
 
 
d. Calculate the​ P-value. Which of these options is closest to the​ P-value?
 
 
A.
0.0005
 
B.
0.9999
 
C.
0.5000
 
D.
0.0001
 
e. State the technical conclusion.
 
 
A.
Do not reject Upper H 0
 
 
B.
Reject Upper H 0
 
 
f. State the final conclusion.
 
 
A.
The sample data support the claim.
 
B.
There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim.
 
C.
There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim.
 
D.
There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim.
