Question

Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is larger than 40% at the 0.025 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

 

  • H0:p≤0.4


Ha:p>0.4

  •  
  • H0:μ≤0.4


Ha:μ>0.4

  •  
  • H0:p=0.4


Ha:p≠0.4

  •  
  • H0:μ=0.4


Ha:μ≠0.4

  •  
  • H0:p≥0.4


Ha:p<0.4

  •  
  • H0:μ≥0.4


Ha:μ<0.4

 

  •  



The test is:

 

  • right-tailed
  • two-tailed
  • left-tailed



Based on a sample of 100 people, 49% owned cats

The test statistic is: (Round to 2 decimals)

The p-value is: (Round to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

  • Do not reject the null hypothesis
  • Reject the null hypothesis
