Question

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly less than 0.27. You use a significance level of α=0.001 

 

 

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly less than 0.27. You use a significance level of \( \alpha = 0.001 \).

\[
H_0 : p = 0.27
\]
\[
H_1 : p < 0.27
\]

You obtain a sample of size \( n = 698 \) in which there are 150 successes.

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)

p-value = [ ]

The p-value is...
- [ ] less than (or equal to) \( \alpha \)
- [ ] greater than \( \alpha \)

This p-value leads to a decision to...
- [ ] reject the null
- [ ] accept the null
- [ ] fail to reject the null
