Question

Please answer question 2

For all of the hypothesis tests, present the 6 steps for conducting tests given in class: Define the null (Ho) and alternative (Ha) hypothesis Set the significance level (a) Collect Data - (show summary statistics) Calculate Test-Statistic and find Rejection Region Make a Decision (Fail to Reject Ho or Reject Ho) Write the Conclusion in sentence form Also, note that you'll have to decide for each of these problems, whether to use a z or a t critical value. The same rules apply as they did for confidence intervals and a short guide is below. Remember, for the t critical value, the degrees of freedom is n-1. Normal, sigma known, any n Use Z Normal, sigma unknown, n ge 40 Use Z Normal, sigma unknown, n

Explanation / Answer

Hypothesis:

Null (Ho) == proportion of voters that will vote for candidate A is > 50% means p > 0.5

Given sample size n = 520 and population size (N) = 1000

Therefore p = 520/1000 = 0.52 and q = 1- p = 1-0.52 = 0.48

Standard Error (SE)p = pq/n = 0.52 X 0.48/1000 = 0.016

At 99% the table value is 2.58

                                                                = 0.52 + 2.58 X 0.016   and 0.52 – 2.58 X 0.016

                                                                 = 0.5613 and 0.4787

t’ = 0.52 -0.5 / SE (0.016)

t (calculated) = 1.25

t (table at = 0.01) = 2.326

Therefore since t(cal = 1.25) is < than t(table = 2.326)

We will accept the null hypothesis.

Means the true proportion of voters that will vote for candidate A is more than 50%.
