Question

You are conducting a study to see if the probability of catching the flu this year is significantly less than 0.26. You use a significance level of α=0.005α=0.005.

      H0:p=0.26H0:p=0.26
      H1:p<0.26H1:p<0.26

You obtain a sample of size n=121n=121 in which there are 20 successes.

What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value = 

The p-value is...

  • less than (or equal to) αα
  • greater than αα



This p-value leads to a decision to...

  • reject the null
  • accept the null
  • fail to reject the null



As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the probability of catching the flu this year is less than 0.26.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the probability of catching the flu this year is less than 0.26.
  • The sample data support the claim that the probability of catching the flu this year is less than 0.26.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the probability of catching the flu this year is less than 0.26.
