What can be concluded at the a = 0.10 level of significance?
For this study, we should use Select an answer
a. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
Ho: Select an answery Select an answerv Select an answerv (please enter a decimal and note that p1
and ul represent the proportion and mean for women and p2 and u2 represent the proportion and mean
for men.)
H: Select an answerv Select an answerv Select an answerv (Please enter a decimal)
b. The test statistic ?v =
(please show your answer to 3 decímal places.)
c. The p-value =
(Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
d. The p-value is ?v a
e. Based on this, we should Select an answerv the null hypothesis.
f. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
O The results are statistically insignificant at a = 0.10, so there is insufficient evidence to
conclude that the population proportion of freshmen women at Oxnard College who attend
orientation is less than the population proportion of freshmen men at Oxnard College who
attend orientation.
