Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is smaller than 70% at the 0.005 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

 

H0:p=0.7
H1:p≠0.7
H0:p≥0.7
H1:p<0.7
H0:μ≥0.7
H1:μ<0.7
H0:μ≤0.7
H1:μ>0.7
H0:p≤0.7
H1:p>0.7
H0:μ=0.7
H1:μ≠0.7


The test is:

 

right-tailed
two-tailed
left-tailed



Based on a sample of 500 people, 66% owned cats

The p-value is:  (to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
  • Reject the null hypothesis
