Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 19% of them are blue. The candy company claims
that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 31%. Use a 0.05 significance level to test that claim.
pq
n
Identify the number of events, the number of trials, the claimed population proportion, and the significance
level to be used in technology.
The number of events is 19, the number of trials is 100, the claimed population proportion is 0.31, and the
significance level is 0.05.
X
Use technology to identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test, rounding to two decimal places.
The test statistic for this hypothesis test is - 2.59.
In a hypothesis test, the P-value is the probability of getting a value of the test statistic that is at least as
extreme as the test statistic obtained from the sample data, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. While
the P-value can be found using technology or the standard normal distribution table, for this problem
use technology, rounding to three decimal places.
The P-value for this hypothesis test is 0.009.
If P-value ≤ α, reject Ho. If P-value > a, fail to reject Hỏ. Then, use this information to state a final conclusion
that addresses the original claim with wording that can be understood by those without knowledge of statistical
procedures.

You said the P-value is 0.995339, if that is the p-value, why arent we multiplying 0.995339 by 2 instead of 0.004661? Are you assuming that the p-value 0.995339 is for the left-tail and if so why?
