The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 50 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed that 33 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use a = 0.05.

The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured
automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 50 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed
that 33 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol
is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use a = 0.05.
A USE SALT
(a) What is the level of significance?
.05
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
O Ho: P = 0.77; H: p> 0.77
• Ho:P = 0.77; H: p< 0.77
O H: p = 0.77: H,: p 0.77
O H,: P< 0.77; H,: p = 0.77
(b) What sampling distribution will you use?
O The standard normal, since np < 5 and ng < 5.
The Student's t, since np < 5 and ng < 5.
O The Student's t, since np > 5 and ng > 5.
O The standard normal, since np > 5 and ng > 5.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information:

Proportion p=0.77

Sample size n=50

Out of which x=33 records involved an intoxicated driver.

Claim: Population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77%.

Significance level α=0.05

 

(b) Since, np>5 i.e., 500.77=38.5>5 and nq>5 i.e.,  nq=n1-p=501-0.77=11.5>5

We use standard normal distribution.

 

Sample proportion is the number of successes divided by the sample size. It is given by the formula p^=xn

So, sample proportion is:

p^=3350=0.66
