Question

Question #1

A random sample of 20 binomial trials resulted in 8 successes. Test the claim that the population proportion of successes does not equal 0.50. Use a level of significance of 0.05.A random sample of 20 binomial trials resulted in 8 successes. Test the claim that the population proportion of successes does not equal 0.50. Use a level of significance of 0.05.

(c) Compute p̂.


Compute the corresponding standardized sample test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(d) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Question # 2

Symposium is part of a larger work referred to as Plato's Dialogues. Wishart and Leach† found that about 21.4% of five-syllable sequences in Symposium are of the type in which four are short and one is long. Suppose an antiquities store in Athens has a very old manuscript that the owner claims is part of Plato's Dialogues. A random sample of 491 five-syllable sequences from this manuscript showed that 128 were of the type four short and one long. Do the data indicate that the population proportion of this type of five-syllable sequence is higher than that found in Plato's Symposium? Use α = 0.01.

(a) What is the level of significance?

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.
