Question

A poll of 2,133 randomly selected adults showed that 94​% of them own cell phones. The technology display below results from a test of the claim that 92​% of adults own cell phones. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial​ distribution, and assume a 0.01

significance level to complete parts​ (a) through​ (e).

Answer 1

Solution :

a) This is the two tailed test .

The null and alternative hypothesis is

H0 : p = 0.92

Ha : p 0.92

= 0.94

n = 2133

P0 = 0.92

1 - P0 = 1 -0.92 = 0.08

b) Test statistic = z

= - P0 / [P0 * (1 - P0 ) / n]

=0.94 -0.92 / [0.92*(0.08) /2133 ]

= 3.40

c) P(z >3.40 ) = 1 - P(z <3.40 ) = 0.0003

P-value = 0.000

= 0.01

0.0003 < 0.01

Reject

d)B.Upper H 0 : p equals 0.92

A.Reject the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is

less than or equal to

the significance​ level,

alpha

e) C.There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that 92% of adults own a cell phone.
