Question
Company records indicate that less than 12% of employees commute to work using public transportation. You suspect this is incorrect and for a sample of 169 employees, and find that 5% of them take public transportation to work. Test the claim using a 10% level of significance.
- What type of test will be used in this problem?
- What evidence justifies the use of this test? Check all that apply
- np>5
and nq>5
-
- The
sample size is larger than 30 - There are two different samples being compared
- The population standard deviation is not known
- The original population is approximately normal
- The population standard deviation is known
- The sample standard deviation is not known
- Enter the null hypothesis for this test.
H0: - Enter the alternative hypothesis for this test.
H1: - Is the original claim located in the null or alternative hypothesis?
- What is the test statistic for the given statistics?
- What is the p-value for this test?
- What is the decision based on the given statistics?
- What is the correct interpretation of this decision?
Using a % level of significance, there
sufficient evidence to the claim that less than 12% of employees commute to work using public transportation.

- Step 3 please and thank youarrow_forwardThe Nero Match Company sells matchboxes that are supposed to have an average of 40 matches per box, with o = 8. A random sample of 92 matchboxes shows the average number of matches per box to be 42.9. Using a 1% level of significance, can you say that the average number of matches per box is more than 40? What are we testing in this problem? O single mean O single proportion (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.

- Helparrow_forwardi can come up with the correct answer to these two types of problems. I know I am just missing a small piece of it. hypothesist test for single population mean and single population proportion. need to figure out test statistic . and "p" value 2. 20% all college students volunteer their time. is the percentage of college student who are volunteers different for students receiving financial aid? of the 387 randomly selected students who receive financial aid, 58 of them volunteered their time. what can be concluded at the alpha 0.05 level of significance. Need to figure test statistic and "p" value.arrow_forwardOur professor wants us to calculate the test statistic and p-value by hand. The test statistic is correct. I can't get the p-value to save my life. Do you know what I am doing wrong?? (All of these p-value answers are incorrect: 0.25, .1230, 2.32, .0232, .02, and .01) An article published in the Washington Post claims that 45 percent of all Americans have brown eyes. A random sample of ?=78 college students found 30 who had brown eyes.Consider testing ?0:?=.45??:?≠.45 (a) The test statistic is ? = -1.16 (b) P-value =arrow_forward
- Can you answer whats blank?arrow_forwardYou are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly more than 0.52. You use a significance level of a = 0.05. Ho:p = 0.52 H1:p> 0.52 You obtain a sample of size n = 556 in which there are 308 successes. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value = The p-value is... less than (or equal to) a greater than a This test statistic leads to a decision to... reject the null accept the null fail to reject the null As such, the final conclusion is that. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is more than 0.52. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is more…arrow_forwardplease help me find the test statistic and p-value!arrow_forward
