A hospital director is told that 54% of the treated patients are insured. The director wants to test the claim that the percentage of insured patients is below the expected percentage. A sample of 380 patients found that 190 were insured. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Total number of sample (n) = 190
number of favourable events (X) = 380
We are interested in testing the hypothesis
Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if
the test statistic value is less than the critical value
-1.6448536269514722 or greater than the critical value
1.6448536269514722
The statistic value, 40.3788 is greater than the critical values
-1.6448536269514722 .
Therefore, we fail to reject the null
hypothesis.
