Expert Solution
Step 1

18)

Given that the obtained test statistic is, z=-2.00 when testing the claim of p < 0.5

The null hypothesis is,

H0: p=0.5

The alternative hypothesis is,

H1: p< 0.5( CLAIM)

The level of significance is, α=0.05

From the alternative hypothesis, it is clear that the alternative hypothesis is a left tailed test.

Critical value:

From standard normal table at 0.05 level of significance , the left tailed critical value is,

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Decision rule:

Reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic is less than the critical value.

Here the test statistic is z =-2.00 which is less than the critical value -1.645. 

So, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that p<0.5
