Question

The proportion of people that own cats is 20%. A veterinarian believes that this proportion is larger than 20% and surveys 100 people. Test the veterinarian's claim at the a=0.025 significance level.

  1. Is it safe to assume that n ≤0.05 of all subjects in the population?
    • No
    • Yes


  2. Verify np(1-p)≥10. Round your answer to one decimal place.

    np(1-p)= 
  3. The null and alternative hypotheses are
    • Ho:p=0.2
      Ha:p<0.2
    • Ho:μ ≥0.2
      Ha:μ<0.2
    • Ho:p≤0.2
      Ha:p>0.2
    • Ho:μ≤0.2
      Ha:μ>0.2
    • Ho:p=0.2
      Ha:p≠0.2
    • Ho:μ=0.2
      Ha: μ ≠0.2


  4. The test is
       a.  right-tailed,  b. two-tailed c. left-tailed
  5. Based on the sample of 100 people, 23% owned cats. Calculate the test statistic. Round to two decimal places.
    z =   

  6. Calculate the p -value. Round to four decimal places.


  7. Make a decision.
    • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
    • Reject the null hypothesis


  8. Make a conclusion.
    • There is sufficient evidence that the proportion of people who own cats is larger.
    • There is not sufficient evidence that the proportion of people who own cats is larger.
