Question
In China, the birth ratio is claimed to be 100 girls to 114 boys (46.7% girls). Suppose you don't believe the reported figures of the percent of girls born in China. You conduct a study. In this study, you count the number of girls and boys born in 150 randomly chosen recent births. There are 64 girls and 86 boys born of the 150. Based on your study, do you believe that the percent of girls born in China is 46.7%? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level.
-
Part (a)
State the null hypothesis.H0:p ≥ 0.467H0:p = 0.467H0:p ≤ 0.467H0:p ≠ 0.467 -
Part (b)
State the alternative hypothesis.Ha:p < 0.467Ha:p > 0.467Ha:p ≠ 0.467Ha:p = 0.467 -
Part (c)
In words, state what your random variable P' represents.P' represents the percent of boys born in China.P' represents the percent of girls born in China. P' represents the number of girls born in China.P' represents the ratio of girls to boys in China. -
Part (d)
State the distribution to use for the test. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
P' ~ -
Part (e)
What is the test statistic? (If using the z distribution round your answers to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answers to three decimal places.)
= -
Part (f)
What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Explain what the p-value means for this problem.IfH0is true, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the sample ratio is 64 out of 150 or less OR 76 out of 150 or more.IfH0is false, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the sample ratio is not 64 out of 150 or less OR 76 out of 150 or more. IfH0is false, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the sample ratio is 64 out of 150 or less OR 76 out of 150 or more.IfH0is true, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the sample ratio is not 64 out of 150 or less OR 76 out of 150 or more. -
Part (g)
Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value. -
Part (h)
Indicate the correct decision ("reject" or "do not reject" the null hypothesis), the reason for it, and write an appropriate conclusion.(i) Alpha (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)
? =
(ii) Decision:reject the null hypothesisdo not reject the null hypothesis
(iii) Reason for decision:Since p-value > ?, we reject the null hypothesis.Since p-value > ?, we do not reject the null hypothesis. Since p-value < ?, we reject the null hypothesis.Since p-value < ?, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
(iv) Conclusion:There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percent of girls born in China is not equal to 46.7%.There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the percent of girls born in China is not equal to 46.7%. -
Part (i)
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion. Sketch the graph of the situation. Label the point estimate and the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

One calculation in statistical polling is the margin of error - the largest (reasonble) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%). In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 37% with a margin of error of 2.5%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality. . That lets you type in a vertical bar | to represent absolute values. Also, when you type in < and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to ≤ . In the same way, if you type in > and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to ≥. Be sure to use decimal numbers in your answer (such as using 0.40 for 40%).arrow_forward

- Use the following information to answer the question. Many couples believe that it is getting too expensive to host an "average" wedding in the United States. According to the website www.costofwedding.com,theaveragecostofaweddingintheU.S.in 2009 was $24,066. Recently, in a random sample of 40 weddings in the U.S. it was found that the average cost of a wedding was $23,224, with a standard deviation of $2,903. On the basis of this, a 9 5% confidence interval for the mean cost of weddings in the U.S. is $22,296 to $24,152. Does the confidence interval provide evidence that the mean cost of a wedding has decreased?
