If not, explain.arrow_forwardA politician claims that he is supported by a clear majority of voters. In a recent survey, 24 out of 40 randomly selected voters indicated that they would vote for the politician. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) a. Select the null and the alternative hypotheses. V Hg: p = 0.50; HA: p + 0.50 O Hg: p 0.50; HA: p > 0.50 O Hg: p 2 0.50; HA: p < 0.50 b. Calculate the sample proportion. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Sample proportionarrow_forwardA student performs a test of H0: p = 0.5 versus Ha: p < 0.5 and gets a p-value of 0.35. The student writes: "Because the p-value is less than 0.5, we reject the null hypothesis." What is wrong with the student's conclusion? Group of answer choices The student should have stated the data prove Ha is true. The student should have stated the data prove H0 is true. The p-value should be compared with the mean, not the hypothesized value of p. The p-value should be compared with the standard deviation, not the hypothesized value of p. The p-value should be compared with a significance level such as α = 0.05, not the hypothesized value of p.arrow_forward

How will the outcome of the test change if the level of significance is changed to 0.05? Explain in 1 – 2 complete sentences.arrow_forwardThe P-value for a hypothesis test is shown.

O A. Reject Ho because the P-value, 0.0398, is less than α=0.01. OB. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.0398, is greater than α=0.01. OC. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.0398, is less than α=0.01. OD.

- Which is the correct null hypothesis based on this statement: People with diabetes have higher systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes? People with diabetes have lower systolic blood pressure than people without diabetes. People with diabetes have equal systolic blood pressure when compared to people without diabetes. People with diabetes have a systolic blood pressure equal to or lower than people without diabetes. None of these are a null hypothesis.arrow_forwardIs achieving a basic skill level related to the location of the school?

Polls show that about 69% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 30 high school students, it was found that only 17 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time.
