Question
A poll of
2,179
randomly selected adults showed that
88​%
of them own cell phones. The technology display below results from a test of the claim that
90​%
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).
 
Test of
p=0.9
vs
p≠0.9

a. Is the test​ two-tailed, left-tailed, or​ right-tailed?
 
Right tailed test
 
​Left-tailed test
 
​Two-tailed test
Your answer is correct.
b. What is the test​ statistic?
 
The test statistic is
negative 3.79−3.79.
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
c. What is the​ P-value?
 
The​ P-value is
0.0020.002.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
d. What is the null hypothesis and what do you conclude about​ it?
 
Identify the null hypothesis.
 
A.
H0: p=0.9
Your answer is correct.
 
B.
H0: p>0.9
 
C.
H0: p<0.9
 
D.
H0: p≠0.9
Choose the correct answer below.
 
A.
Fail to reject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greater than
the significance​ level,
α.
 
B.
Reject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greater than
the significance​ level,
α.
 
C.
Fail to reject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to
the significance​ level,
α.
 
D.
Reject
the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to
the significance​ level,
α.
Your answer is correct.
e. What is the final​ conclusion?
 
 
A.
There
is
sufficient evidence to support the claim that
90​%
of adults own a cell phone.
 
B.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to support the claim that
90​%
of adults own a cell phone.
 
C.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that
90​%
of adults own a cell phone.
 
D.
There
is
sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that
90​%
of adults own a cell phone.
