Question
Only about 13% of all people can wiggle their ears. Is this percent higher for millionaires? Of the 351 millionaires surveyed, 56 could wiggle their ears. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.10 level of significance?
- For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for a population proportion t-test for a population mean
- The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
H0:H0: ? p μ Select an answer > ≠ < = (please enter a decimal)
H1:H1: ? p μ Select an answer < ≠ = > (Please enter a decimal)
- The test statistic ? t z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
- The p-value = (Please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
- The p-value is ? > ≤ αα
- Based on this, we should Select an answer reject fail to reject accept the null hypothesis.
- Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
- The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly higher than 13% at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of millionaires who can wiggle their ears is higher than 13%.
- The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly higher than 13% at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of millionaires who can wiggle their ears is higher than 13%.
- The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly higher than 13% at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of millionaires who can wiggle their ears is equal to 13%.
