Question
A researcher claims that less than 23% of Americans have been a victim to identity theft. In a random sample of 130 U.S adults, 35 of them have been a victim to identity theft. Is there enough evidence to supportt the researchers claim?
1. Write the claim mathematically- you may use p to represent tthe proportion
2. Determine the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis
3. find the standard test statistic, z, round to 3 decimal places
4. find the p-value, round to 3 decimal places
5. Do we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis
6. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim

Choose the correct answer below. O A. Statistical significance means that the sample statistic is not likely to come from the population whose parameter is stated in the null hypothesis. Practical significance refers to whether the difference between the sample statistic and the parameter stated in the null hypothesis is large enough to be considered important in an application. O B. Statistical significance refers to how an unusual event is unlikely to actually appear in a real world application, such as every entry in a sample of size 50 having the same value. Practical significance refers to how an unusual event is likely to actually appear in a real world application, such as a rejection of a null hypothesis using data that looks feasible. O C. Statistical significance refers to the type of hypothesis test needed to analyze a population, with some tests being more important than Z tests. Practical…arrow_forward
