Question

A politician claims that he is supported by a clear majority of voters. In a recent survey, 24 out of 40 randomly selected voters indicated that they would vote for the politician. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table)

 

a. Select the null and the alternative hypotheses.

 

multiple choice 1

  • H0p = 0.50; HAp ≠ 0.50
  • H0p ≤ 0.50; HAp > 0.50
  • H0p ≥ 0.50; HAp < 0.50

 

 

b. Calculate the sample proportion. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

 

c. Calculate the value of test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

 

d. Find the p-value.

 

multiple choice 2

  • p-value < 0.01
  • 0.01 ≤ p-value < 0.025
  • 0.025 ≤ p-value < 0.05
  • 0.05 ≤ p-value < 0.10
  • p-value ≥ 0.10

 

 

e. At the 5% level of significance, what is the conclusion?

 

multiple choice 3

  • Reject H0; the politician’s claim is supported by the data.
  • Reject H0; the politician’s claim is not supported by the data.
  • Do not reject H0; the politician’s claim is supported by the data.
  • Do not reject H0; the politician’s claim is not supported by the data.
