A poll of 2,018 randomly selected adults showed that 94​% of them own cell phones. The technology display below results from a test of the claim that 95​% of adults own cell phones. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial​ distribution, and assume a 0.05 significance level to complete parts​ (a) through​ (e). Is the test two-tailed, left-taile

A poll of 2,018 randomly selected adults showed that 94​% of them own cell phones. The technology display below results from a test of the claim that 95​% of adults own cell phones. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial​ distribution, and assume a 0.05 significance level to complete parts​ (a) through​ (e).

  1. Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed?

Left-tailed test

Right tailed test

Two-tailed test

 

  1. What is the test statistic?

The test statistic is

​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

 

  1. What is the P-value?

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

 

  1. What is the null hypothesis and what do you conclude about​ it?

Identify the null hypothesis

  1. Ho: p> 0.95
  2. Ho: p= 0.95
  3. Ho: p< 0.95
  4. Ho: p≠ 0.95

Choose the correct answer below.

  1. Fail the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is greater than the significance​ level, α
  2. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, α
  3. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is greater than the significance level, α
  4. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance

 

 

  1. What is the final conclusion?
  2. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that 95​% of adults own a cell phone.
  3. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that 95​% of adults own a cell phone.
  4. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that 95​% of adults own a cell phone.
  5. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that 95% of adults own a cell phone.

Expert Solution
Step 1

We have given that 

Sample size n=2018 ,

population proportion p=95%=0.95

Sample proportion p^=94%=0.94

Level of significance = alpha =0.05
