A genetic experiment involving peas yielded one sample of offspring consisting of 447 green peas and 178 yellow peas. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that under the same circumstances, 27% of offspring peas will be yellow. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.
A. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
A. Upper H 0 : p = 0.27
Upper H 1 : p < 0.27
B. Upper H 0 : p not equals 0.27
Upper H 1 : p = 0.27
C. Upper H 0 : p not equals 0.27
Upper H 1 : p > 0.27
D. Upper H 0 : p not equals 0.27
Upper H 1 : p < 0.27
E. Upper H 0 : p = 0.27
Upper H 1 : p not equals 0.27
F. Upper H 0 : p - 0.27
Upper H 1 : p > 0.27
B. What is the test statistic?
z =
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
C. What is the P-value?
P-value =
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
D. What is the conclusion about the null hypothesis?
A. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or
equal to the significance level, alpha.
B. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is
greater than the significance level, alpha.
C. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is greater than
the significance level, alpha.
D. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less
than or equal to the significance level, alpha.
E. What is the final conclusion?
A. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that less than
27% of offspring peas will be yellow.
B. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the
claim that 27% of offspring peas will be yellow.
C. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that less
than 27% of offspring peas will be yellow.
D. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim
that 27% of offspring peas will be yellow
Solution :
This is the two tailed test .
The null and alternative hypothesis is
H0 : p = 0.27
Ha : p 0.27
= x / n = 178 / 447 = 0.3982
Test statistic = z
= - P0 / [P0 * (1 - P0 ) / n]
= 0.3982 - 0.27 / [(0.27 * 0.73) / 447]
= 6.11
P(z > 6.11) = 1 - P(z < 6.11) = 0
P-value = 2 * 0 = 0
= 0.05
P-value <
A. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, alpha.
D. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that 27% of offspring peas will be yellow
