Question

A group of researchers from a medical firm are trying to understand the proportion of American adults who are allergic to a medication. In a random sample of 110 adults, 15 people say they have such an allergy. For the following hypotheses, what would be your conclusion based on the information provided? The level of significance (alpha level) is 0.05. (Hint: Use 1.96 and -1.96 as the critical z-values) Ho: P = 0.15 (Null) Ha: P ≠ 0.15 (Alternative) Group of answer choices Fail to reject the null hypothesis. Cannot conclude due to lack of information. Cannot conclude due to the sample size and the population proportion not meeting the requirement needed for applying Central Limit Theorem. Reject the null hypothesis.
