A poll of 2,160 randomly selected adults showed that 92% of them own cell phones. The technology display below results from a test of the claim that 91% of adults own cell phones. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, and assume a 0.01 significance level to complete parts (a) through (e). Test of p=0.91 vs p≠0.91
Sample=1 x=1,981 n=2,160 sample p= .917130 95%CI= (0.901850,0.932409) z-value=1.16 p-value= .247
Null hypothesis
Alternative hypothesis
We have for given example,
Population proportion value is =0.91
x=1981
n=2160
Level of significance = 0.01
Estimate for sample proportion = 0.917130
Z test statistic formula for proportion
P-value =0.247 ...........................by using
Excel command =2*(1-NORMSDIST(1.16)) or by using Z table.
