Answer 1

Answer:

Test the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is significantly different than the proportion of women who own cats at the 0.2 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H 0 : μ M = μ F H 1 : μ M < μ F H 0 : μ M = μ F H 1 : μ M > μ F H 0 : p M = p F H 1 : p M ≠ p F H 0 : p M = p F H 1 : p M < p F H 0 : p M = p F H 1 : p M > p F H 0 : μ M = μ F H 1 : μ M ≠ μ F

The test is:

right-tailed

left-tailed

two-tailed

Based on a sample of 40 men, 25%Based on a sample of 40 men, 25% owned cats

Based on a sample of 40 women, 40% owned cats

The test statistic is:

The p-value is:

Based on this we:

Reject the null hypothesis
