Question

 Test the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is significantly different than 60% at the 0.02 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ≠0.6H1:μ≠0.6
H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p>0.6H1:p>0.6
H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p<0.6H1:p<0.6
H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ>0.6H1:μ>0.6
H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p≠0.6H1:p≠0.6
H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ<0.6H1:μ<0.6



The test is:

left-tailed
right-tailed
two-tailed



Based on a sample of 40 people, 65% owned cats

The test statistic is:  (to 2 decimals)

The positive critical value is:  (to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

  • Reject the null hypothesis
  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
