Question

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly more than 0.4. You use a significance level of α=0.002α=0.002.

      H0:p=0.4H0:p=0.4
      H1:p>0.4H1:p>0.4

You obtain a sample of size n=200n=200 in which there are 99 successes.

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value = 

The p-value is...

  • less than (or equal to) αα
  • greater than αα



This p-value leads to a decision to...

  • reject the null
  • accept the null
  • fail to reject the null



As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is more than 0.4.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is more than 0.4.
  • The sample data support the claim that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is more than 0.4.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is more than 0.4.
