Math Problem Statement

What is the answer to c

Solution

The answer to part (c), the value of the test statistic, is:

z2.718z \approx -2.718

This value was calculated using the formula:

z=p^p0SEz = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{SE}

Where:

  • p^=0.1345\hat{p} = 0.1345 (sample proportion)
  • p0=0.20p_0 = 0.20 (proportion under the null hypothesis)
  • SE0.0241SE \approx 0.0241 (standard error)

The result is rounded to three decimal places as requested.

Would you like further details or have any more questions?


Here are 5 questions related to this problem:

  1. What would be the test statistic if the sample proportion was higher than 20%?
  2. How does the standard error impact the test statistic?
  3. What happens if you round the intermediate values differently?
  4. How would a two-tailed test change the process?
  5. What is the critical value for a one-tailed test at a 0.05 significance level?

Tip: For hypothesis testing, it's important to maintain consistency in rounding during intermediate steps to avoid discrepancies in the final test statistic.
