Question
Suppose an experiment is done with criminals released from prison in a certain state where the recidivism rate is 32%; that is, 32% of criminals return to prison within three years. One hundred
random prisoners are made to attend a "boot camp" for two weeks before their release, and it is hoped that "boot camp" will have a good effect. Suppose 27 of those prisoners return to prison
within three years. The null hypothesis is that those attending boot camp have a recidivism rate of 32%, p= 0.32. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
a. What is p, the sample proportion of successes? (It is somewhat odd to call returning to prison a success.)
p-(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
b. What is po, the hypothetical proportion of success under the null hypothesis?
Po
= 0.32 (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
