1. Diinformasikan bahwa maksimal 30% dari siswa SMK jurusan penerbangan akan dikeluarkan (Drop Out) sesudah tahun pertama sekolah. Ujilah benar tidaknya informasi tersebut apabila dari sampel random 500 siswa yang memasuki pendidikan kejuruan tersebut terdapat 124 siswa Drop Out sesudah tahun pertama. Gunakan confidence interval 98%.

Translation of the problem:

It is informed that a maximum of 30% of students in a vocational high school aviation program are expected to drop out after the first year. Test whether this information is correct based on a random sample of 500 students, where 124 students dropped out after the first year. Use a 98% confidence interval.

Solution Outline:

To verify the claim that no more than 30% of students drop out after the first year, we will:

1. Formulate the Hypotheses:

   • Null Hypothesis $H_0$: The dropout rate is 30% (i.e., $p_0 = 0.30$).
   • Alternative Hypothesis $H_1$: The dropout rate is not equal to 30%.

2. Calculate the sample proportion $\hat{p}$:

   • $\hat{p} = \frac{124}{500} = 0.248$.

3. Use the formula for the confidence interval for a proportion: $\text{CI} = \hat{p} \pm Z_{\alpha/2} \times \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1 - \hat{p})}{n}}$ where:

   • $\hat{p}$ is the sample proportion,
   • $Z_{\alpha/2}$ is the Z-score for a 98% confidence interval,
   • $n = 500$ is the sample size.

4. Check if 30% lies within the calculated confidence interval.

I can calculate the confidence interval if you want. Would you like me to continue with the calculations or have any specific questions?

Here are some related questions:

1. How does the confidence interval change with different confidence levels?
2. What would happen if the sample size were smaller?
3. How do we interpret the results if the null hypothesis is rejected?
4. What is the meaning of the Z-score in hypothesis testing?
5. How do we handle similar problems with more than two groups?

Tip: Confidence intervals provide a range of values that are plausible for the true population parameter; the wider the interval, the more uncertain we are about the parameter.
