Question

Automobiles Purchased An automobile owner found that 20   years ago, 74% of Americans said that they would prefer to purchase an American automobile. He believes that the number is much greater than 74%  today. He selected a random sample of 

48  Americans and found that 42 said that they would prefer an American automobile. Can it be concluded that the percentage today is greater than 74%? At α=0.05 , is he correct? Use the critical value method with tables.

(a) State the hypotheses and identify the claim.

:H0
 
 
 ▼(Choose one)
:H1
 
 
 ▼(Choose one)
This hypothesis test is a ▼(Choose one) test.
 
 
 

 

(b) Find the critical value(s). Round the answer to two decimal places. If there is more than one critical value, separate them with commas.

Critical value(s): 
 
 
 
 

(c) Compute the test value. Always round z

 score values to at least two decimal places. 

=z
 
 
 
 

 

(d) Make the decision.

▼(Choose one) the null hypothesis.
 
 
 

(e) Summarize the results.
