This guide assists in understanding how to determine statistical significance regarding whether the ear-wiggling ability among millionaires differs from the general population.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/b59df692-2bde-4aad-9a98-5b0a7ddf3ca5/8a4f2492-339e-45bc-9d0f-245438e1eca5/lne3xxg.jpeg)
Transcribed Image Text:**Statistical Hypothesis Testing: Ear Wiggling Proportion Among Millionaires**
In the study, we want to determine if the proportion of millionaires who can wiggle their ears is different from the general population, which is approximately 11%. Out of 315 millionaires surveyed, 50 could wiggle their ears. We will assess this using a significance level of \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
### Steps in Testing:
1. **Select Test Type:**
- For this study, we should use: _Select an answer_.
2. **Formulate Hypotheses:**
- **Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\)):**
- \(H_0: \) ? _Select an answer_ \( = \) _(please enter a decimal)_
- **Alternative Hypothesis (\(H_1\)):**
- \(H_1: \) ? _Select an answer_ \( = \) _(Please enter a decimal)_
3. **Calculate Test Statistic:**
- The test statistic is: \( ? = \) _(please show your answer to 3 decimal places)_
4. **Determine P-value:**
- The p-value is: \( = \) _(Please show your answer to 3 decimal places)_
5. **Compare P-value to Significance Level:**
- If \( \text{p-value} \leq \alpha \), decide to: _Select an answer_ the null hypothesis.
6. **Draw Conclusion:**
Based on the analysis:
- The data suggest the population proportion is **not significantly different** from 11% at \( \alpha = 0.05 \), indicating statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of millionaires who can wiggle their ears is different from 11%.
- Alternatively, if significant, the data suggest the population proportion is **significantly different** from 11% at \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
