Question

A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 50% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 800 people, 56% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.

Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is larger than 50% at the 0.10 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

 

H0:p=0.5H0:p=0.5
H1:p<0.5H1:p<0.5
H0:μ=0.5H0:μ=0.5
H1:μ≠0.5H1:μ≠0.5
H0:μ=0.5H0:μ=0.5
H1:μ<0.5H1:μ<0.5
H0:μ=0.5H0:μ=0.5
H1:μ>0.5H1:μ>0.5
H0:p=0.5H0:p=0.5
H1:p≠0.5H1:p≠0.5
H0:p=0.5H0:p=0.5
H1:p>0.5H1:p>0.5



The test is:

 

right-tailed
left-tailed
two-tailed



The test statistic is: (to 3 decimals)

The p-value is:  (to 4 decimals)

I am just lost on how to do the steps. thanks
