A recent study from China concluded that people with type O blood may have a lower risk of contracting the new coronavirus than people with other blood types. About 41% of the world population has type O blood. A random sample of 750 people from one country is selected, of whom 375 have type O blood. Does the data suggest that the population proportion of type O blood in a selected country is different than the worldwide proportion? Conduct a statistical test with the Type I error 2%.
Given
P = 0.41
n=750
p = 375/750
=0.5
H0: P= 0.41
H0: P 0.41
= 0.02
Test statistics
The critical value of Z = 2.33
p-value = 0.00001
Decision: p-value( 0.00001) < 0,02
Reject H0
Conclusion:
There is enough evidencet to conclude that the population proportion of type O blood in a selected country is different than the worldwide proportion.
