Question

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly less than 0.83. You use a significance level of α=0.02α=0.02.

      H0:p=0.83H0:p=0.83 
      H1:p<0.83H1:p<0.83

You obtain a sample of size 166 in which there are 135 successes.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to 3 decimal places.) 


What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.) 


The p-value is

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



This test statistic 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 conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is less than 0.83.
  • there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is less than 0.83.
  • there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is equal to 0.83.
  • there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is equal to 0.83.
