Calculate the test​ statistic,

z 0z0.

z 0z0equals=nothing

​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

From given data,

Test the hypothesis using the​ P-value approach.

H₀​ : p = 0.4

H₁ ​:  p > 0.4

n = 125

x = 60

α =0.01

Sample proportion = x / n

= 60 / 125

= 0.48

Test statistics

z₀ = - p /

= 0.48 - 0.4 /

= 0.08 / 0.0438178

= 1.82 ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

This is test statistics value.

p-value for right tailed test is

p = P( Z > z₀)

= P( Z > 1.82)

= 1 - P( Z < 1.82)

= 1 - 0.9656

= 0.0344

Since p-value > 0.01 level, we do not have sufficient evidence to reject H₀.

We conclude that,

Do not reject the null hypothesis because p-value is greater than α .
