Please answer B, C, & D. 

Only 20% of registered voters voted in the last election. Will voter participation decline for the upcoming
election? Of the 388 randomly selected registered voters surveyed, 58 of them will vote in the upcoming
election. What can be concluded at the a = 0.01 level of significance?
a. For this study, we should use z-test for a population proportion v
b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
Ho: ?v Select an answer v
(please enter a decimal)
Hj: ?v| Select an answer v
(Please enter a decimal)
c. The test statistic ?v =
(please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
d. The p-value
(Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
e. The p-value is
a
f. Based on this, we should reject
the null hypothesis.
g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
O The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly lower than 20% at a = 0.01, so
there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the percentage of registered voters
who will vote in the upcoming election will be equal to 20%.

Expert Solution
Step 1

b.

The null and alternate hypotheses are as below:

H0:p0=0.2H1:p0<0.2

c.

Here

 p^=58388=0.1495

The test statistic is obtained as follows:

z=p^-p0p01-p0n=0.1495-0.20.20.8388=-0.05050.0203=-2.4868

Thus, the test statistic is -2.4868
