Concept explainers
(a)
The population for the survey on students to check whether the students are left handed or right handed.
(a)
Answer to Problem 11E
There is a chance of 0.2184 of obtaining 16 left handed students or more in a sample of 100 students when the population proportion is equal to 0.12.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Population value from exercise 1
Number of sample
New population value
From exercise 1 population valueis 12%.
Convert 12% into decimal.
Thus, null hypotheses
Alternative hypotheses
Hence, if the population proportion is equal to 0.12, then there is a chance of 0.2184 of obtaining 16 left handed students or more in a sample of 100 students.
(b)
Explain whether the data provide sufficient evidence against the null hypothesis.
(b)
Answer to Problem 11E
There is not enough convincing evidence against the null hypothesis.
Explanation of Solution
From 11(a), null hypothesis is 0.12. If p value is smaller than significant level of 10%, then the null hypothesis is rejected.
Convert 10% into decimal.
But
Thus,
Hence, there is not enough convincing evidence against the null hypothesis.
