- Who will you vote for? A simple random sample of 1500 voters were surveyed and asked whether they were planning to vote for the incumbent mayor for re-election. Seven hundred ninety-eight of them replied that they were planning to vote for the mayor. The mayor claims that more than half of all voters are planning to vote for her. To test this claim, a test of the hypotheses Ho: p = 0.5 versus H₁: p > 0.5 is performed. a. Show that the P-value is 0.007. b. The P-value is very small, so Ho is rejected.

State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H that we would use for this test. H: 0 Oarrow_forwardBenford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01.
