- Suppose that the proportion of investors who are risk-averse (that is, try to avoid risk in their investment decisions) is though to be at least 0.6.

- Suppose that the proportion of investors who are risk-averse (that is, try to avoid risk in their investment decisions) is though to be at least 0.6. A financial advisor believes that the proportion is actually less than 0.6. A survey of 32 investors found that 20 of them were risk-averse. Formulate a one-sample hypothesis test for a proportion to test this belief. Determine the null hypothesis, H,, and the alternative hypothesis, H,. Ho H,: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Compute the test statistic. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Find the p-value for the test. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) State the conclusion at the 0.05 level of significance. The p-value is the chosen value of a, so V the null hypothesis. There is evidence to conclude that the proportion of investors who are risk-averse is not at least 0.6.arrow_forward6. A researcher takes a sample of people, and asks them how they would vote for president. When she creates her confidence interval, she has a standard error of .082. If she wanted to get a smaller standard error, what could she do? Group of answer choices Ask a different research question. Take a smaller sample. Take a larger sample. None of the above would create a smaller standard error.arrow_forwardNear the time of an election, a cable news service performs an opinion poll of 1,000 probable voters.
