Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 50% at the 0.1 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

 

H0:μ=0.5H0:μ=0.5
Ha:μ≠0.5Ha:μ≠0.5
H0:μ≥0.5H0:μ≥0.5
Ha:μ<0.5Ha:μ<0.5

Ha:p<0.5Ha:p<0.5
H0:p≤0.5H0:p≤0.5
Ha:p>0.5Ha:p>0.5

Correct



The test is:

 

right-tailed
two-tailed
left-tailed
Correct



Based on a sample of 300 people, 49% owned cats

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

Based on this we:

a) Fail to reject the null hypothesis

b) Reject the null hypothesis

 

I am just looking for the correct p-value: (to 2 decimals). 

The correct answers were p = 0.5 and p does not equal 0.5. 

This is a two tailed test, and we fail to reject the null hypothesis. 

I for some reason cannot get the correct p value :,(

  • Reject the null hypothesis
