Math Problem Statement

The problem involves computing the sample proportion, verifying hypothesis test assumptions, calculating a test statistic for a two-tailed hypothesis test, and determining whether to reject the null hypothesis at a 0.05 significance level.

Solution

Let me analyze the content of the uploaded image. I will extract the relevant mathematical information and provide the necessary computations and explanations.The uploaded image contains a hypothesis testing problem involving the following parts:

Part 1 of 4

(a) Compute the sample proportion (p^\hat{p}) and round the answer to at least three decimal places.

Part 2 of 4

(b) Are the assumptions for the hypothesis test satisfied?

Part 3 of 4

(c) Test the null hypothesis (H0:p=0.8H_0 : p = 0.8) versus the alternative hypothesis (H1:p0.8H_1 : p \neq 0.8). Compute the test statistic (zz) and round the answer to at least two decimal places.

Part 4 of 4

(d) Determine the critical values at the 0.050.05 level and decide whether to reject H0H_0.

I will proceed step by step:

Part 1

To compute the sample proportion (p^\hat{p}): p^=number of successessample size\hat{p} = \frac{\text{number of successes}}{\text{sample size}} The problem does not provide the data explicitly in the screenshot. If you can provide this information, I can calculate p^\hat{p}.


Part 2

To determine if the assumptions are satisfied:

  • The sample size (nn) should be large enough so that np10np \geq 10 and n(1p)10n(1-p) \geq 10.
  • If the image gives n>10n > 10 for each category, the assumption holds.

Part 3

To calculate the test statistic: z=p^p0p0(1p0)nz = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}} Where:

  • p^\hat{p} = sample proportion
  • p0=0.8p_0 = 0.8 (null hypothesis proportion)
  • nn = sample size

Please provide the sample data or values of nn and successes for an accurate computation.


Part 4

Critical values for a two-tailed test at α=0.05\alpha = 0.05: ±z0.025\pm z_{0.025} From the z-distribution table, z0.025=1.960z_{0.025} = 1.960.

Decision Rule:

  • Reject H0H_0 if z>1.960|z| > 1.960.

Please share the missing numerical details so I can finalize the calculations for all parts.
