Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks makıng up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day A sample of 78 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 21 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3. You use a significance level of a 0.001. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places. test statistic What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) 19 p-value = The p-value is.. less than (or equal to) o greater than a This test statistic leads to a decision to... reject the nul1 a

Suppose that historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has statistically significantly decreased, what is the P value? (please round your answer to four decimal places)
