Question
A researcher wonders if the currently-believed global male-births proportion value of approximately p = 51.2% is still correct.
The researcher decides to perform a two-sided significance test, and in advance, chooses a significance-level of 1%.
The researcher then randomly samples the reported birth-sex information for 1000 recent global births, and finds that exactly 551 of these babies were reported to be males.
In percentage form, and rounded to three digits past the decimal point: What is the approximate P-value of this test?
Include a percentage symbol at the end of your numerical answer (with no spaces).

- In a population of 150 pea plants, there are 89 tall-purple plants, 25 short-purple plants, 28 tall-white plants, and 8 short-white plants. In order to test if the two traits are experiencing independent assortment researchers would perform a chi squared test. What is your calculated Chi Squared statistic? What is the corresponding P value?arrow_forwardA researcher selects a sample of 6 men and 11 women. She asks participants to rate the likelihood they would do female-stereotyped jobs (such as nursing or school teaching) on a scale from 1 = not likely at all to 5 = very likely. Men indicated that they would be less likely to do these jobs (M = 2.1) compared with women (M = 4.3). What is the weighted mean for the combined sample of 17 total participants?
