Question
You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.10α=0.10.
Ho:p=0.56Ho:p=0.56
Ha:p>0.56Ha:p>0.56
You obtain a sample of size n=680n=680 in which there are 391 successful observations. For this test, you should use the (cumulative) binomial distribution to obtain an exact p-value. (Do not use thenormal distribution as an approximation for the binomial distribution.)
The p-value for this test is (assuming HoHo is true) the probability of observing...
What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =
The p-value is...
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
As such, the final conclusion is that...
Ho:p=0.56Ho:p=0.56
Ha:p>0.56Ha:p>0.56
You obtain a sample of size n=680n=680 in which there are 391 successful observations. For this test, you should use the (cumulative) binomial distribution to obtain an exact p-value. (Do not use the
The p-value for this test is (assuming HoHo is true) the probability of observing...
- at most 391 successful observations
- at least 391 successful observations
What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =
The p-value is...
- less than (or equal to) αα
- greater than αα
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
- reject the null
- accept the null
- fail to reject the null
As such, the final conclusion is that...
- There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population proportion is greater than 0.56.
- There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population proportion is greater than 0.56.
- The sample data support the claim that the population proportion is greater than 0.56.
- There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population proportion is greater than 0.56.

Step 1
Given : n=680 , X=391 , p0=0.56 , α=0.10
The estimate of the sample proportion is ,
p-hat=X/n=391/680=0.5750
Since ,
The null and alternative hypothesis are ,
Ho : p=0.56
H1 : p>0.56 (Claim)
The test is right-tailed test
Our aim is to test the claim p>0.56
Here , we use the one proportion Z-test.
