Question

16% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a lower percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 396 people from the inner city surveyed, 59 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of αα = 0.05?

  1. For this study, we should use    
  2. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:    
     Ho:            (please enter a decimal)   
     H1:            (Please enter a decimal)
  1. The test statistic     =  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
  2. The p-value =  (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
  3. The p-value is     αα
  4. Based on this, we should      the null hypothesis.
  5. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly smaller than 16% at αα = 0.05, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is smaller than 16%.
    • The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly smaller than 16% at αα = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is equal to 16%.
    • The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly smaller than 16% at αα = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is smaller than 16%
