Question

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly smaller than 76% at a significance level of αα = 0.01. According to your sample, 54 out of 80 potential voters prefer Candidate A.

    1. For this study, we should use               

 

    1. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:   
        H0H0:            (please enter a decimal)   
        H1H1:            (Please enter a decimal)   

 

    1. The test statistic =  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)

 

    1. The p-value =  (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)

 

    1. The p-value is     αα

 

    1. Based on this, we should      the null hypothesis.

 

  1. As such, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The sample data suggest that the population proportion is not significantly smaller than 76% at αα = 0.01, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is smaller than 76%.
    • The sample data suggest that the populaton proportion is significantly smaller than 76% at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is smaller than 76%
