Question

Only 16% of registered voters voted in the last election. Will voter participation decline for the upcoming election? Of the 305 randomly selected registered voters surveyed, 46 of them will vote in the upcoming election. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance?

  1. For this study, we should use    
  2. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:     

 H0:H0:             (please enter a decimal)   

 H1:H1:             (Please enter a decimal)

  1. The test statistic     =  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
  2. The p-value =  (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
  3. The p-value is     αα
  4. Based on this, we should      the null hypothesis.
  5. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly lower than 16% at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the percentage of registered voters who will vote in the upcoming election will be equal to 16%.
    • The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly lower than 16% at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the the percentage of all registered voters who will vote in the upcoming election will be lower than 16%.
    • The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly lower than 16% at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the percentage of registered voters who will vote in the upcoming election will be lower than 16%.
