Question

Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is smaller than 50% at the 0.025 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

 

  • H0:p≤0.5H0:p≤0.5
    Ha:p>0.5Ha:p>0.5
  • H0:μ≥0.5H0:μ≥0.5
    Ha:μ<0.5Ha:μ<0.5
  • H0:p=0.5H0:p=0.5
    Ha:p≠0.5Ha:p≠0.5
  • H0:p≥0.5H0:p≥0.5
    Ha:p<0.5Ha:p<0.5
  • H0:μ=0.5H0:μ=0.5
    Ha:μ≠0.5Ha:μ≠0.5
  • H0:μ≤0.5H0:μ≤0.5
    Ha:μ>0.5Ha:μ>0.5



The test is:

 

  • right-tailed
  • two-tailed
  • left-tailed



Based on a sample of 700 people, 43% owned cats

The test statistic is:  (Round to 2 decimals)

The p-value is:  (Round to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

  • Reject the null hypothesis
  • Do not reject the null hypothesis
