Question 21

Only 11% of registered voters voted in the last election. Will voter participation change for the upcoming election? Of the 380 randomly selected registered voters surveyed, 61 of them will vote in the upcoming election. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance?

A.)For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for a population proportion t-test for a population mean 

B.)The null and alternative hypotheses would be:     

 -H0:H0:  ? p μ  Select an answer < > ≠ =   (please enter a decimal)   

 -H1:H1:  ? μ p  Select an answer = ≠ < >   (Please enter a decimal)

c. )The test statistic ? z t  =  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

21.

Let X be number of registered voters will vote in the upcoming election and n be the sample number of registered voters.

From the given information, X=61 and n=380.

 

Step 2

A.

One proportion test is used to test the population proportion. Here, the z statistic is to be used.

Thus, the correct option is z-test.

Reason for the incorrect option:

The t-test is used to test the population mean and not for the population proportion.

Thus, the option t-test is incorrect.
