Question

In a previous year, 62% of females aged 15 and older lived alone. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different today by conducting a random sample of 700 females aged 15 and older and finds that 428 are living alone. Is
there sufficient evidence at the α = 0.1 level of significance to conclude the proportion has changed?
Because npo (1-Po)
10, the sample size is
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
=
5% of the population size, and the sample
a random sample, all of the requirements for testing the hypothesis
satisfied.

OBFW Publishers A state's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) claims that 60% of all teens pass their driving test on the first attempt. An investigative reporter examines an SRS of the DMV records for 125 teens; 86 of them passed the test on their first try. A hypothesis test of Ho: P = 0.60 Ha:p # 0.60 where p = the true proportion of teens who pass their driving test on the first attempt using a = 0.05 gives a P-value of 0.0444. A 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of teens who pass the driving test on the first attempt is 0.607 to 0.769. Which is the following statements is not true with regards to the 95% confidence interval provided and the result of the hypothesis test? OA two-sided test only allows us to reject (or fail to reject) a hypothesized value for a particular population parameter.
