After once again losing a football game to the archrival, a college's alumni association conducted a survey to see if alumni were in favor of firing that coach. An SRS of 100 alumni from the population of all living alumni was taken, and 64 of the alumni in the sample were in favor of firing the coach. Suppose you wish to see if a majority of living alumni are in favor of firing the coach. The appropriate test statistic is
z=1000.64(0.36)0.64−0.5
t=1000.64(0.36)0.64−0.5
z=1000.5(0.5)0.64−0.5
z=640.64(0.36)0.64−0.5
z=1000.5(0.5)0.5−0.64
Which of the following is not a condition for performing a significance test about a population proportion p?
The data should come from a random sample or randomize experiment
Both np and n(1-p) should be at least 10
If you are sampling without replacement from a finite population, then you should sample no more than 10% of the population
The population distribution should be approximately Normal, unless the sample size is large
All of the above are conditions for performing a significance test about a population proportion.
The z statistic for a test of H0: p=0.4 versus HA: p=0.4 is z = 2.43. This test statistic is
not significant at either α=.05 or α=.01
significant at α=.05 but not at α=.01
significant at α=.01 but not at α=.05
significant at both α=.05 and α=.01
inconclusive because we don't know the value of p-hat
Which of the following 95% confidence intervals would lead us to reject H0: p=.30 in favor of HA: p=.30 at the 5% significance level?
(0.19, 0.27)
