Consider the following hypothesis test:
H0: p = .5
Ha: p ≠ .5
A sample of 800 provided a sample proportion of .58.
a.
Determine the standard error of the proportion.
b.
Compute the value of the test statistic.
c.
Determine the p-value, and using α = .05, test the hypotheses.
Sample Proportion
The fraction or percentage of the sample that represents part of a particular category or characteristic of interest.
Null Hypothesis
A hypothesis that assumes no significant difference or effect in the context of an experiment or test.
Alternative Hypothesis
A hypothesis that contradicts the null hypothesis, suggesting that there is a significant effect or difference.
- Establish the value of the standard error for both the mean and the proportion.
- Calculate the test statistic for assorted hypothesis test types.
- Execute calculations to obtain p-values and interpret their meaning in hypothesis testing.
