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 the normal distribution as an approximation for the binomial distribution.)

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.
