Answer:
The p value is a value in order to reject or not the null hypothesis. If the p value is higher than the significance level we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis otherwise we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
n=100 represent the random sample taken
X=152 represent the people passed the exam
estimated proportion of people report having texted while driving
is the value that we want to test
represent the significance level
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value (variable of interest)
Concepts and formulas to use
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is higher than 0.68.:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:
(1)
The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value
.
Calculate the statistic
Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:
Statistical decision
It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.
The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.
Since is a left right test the p value would be:
The p value is a value in order to reject or not the null hypothesis. If the p value is higher than the significance level we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis otherwise we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
