A survey of 1935 people who took trips revealed that 181 of them included a visit to a theme park. Based on those survey results, a management consultant claims that less than 10 % of trips include a theme park visit. Test this claim using the ?=0.01 significance level.
(a) The test statistic is
(b) The P-value is
(c) The conclusion is
A. There is not sufficient evidence to support the
claim that less than 10 % of trips include a theme park
visit.
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the
claim that less than 10 % of trips include a theme park visit.
Null hypothesis
Alternative hypothesis
We have for given example,
Population proportion value is =0.1
x=181
n=1935
Level of significance = 0.01
Estimate for sample proportion
a)
Z test statistic formula for proportion
b) P value is = 0.1718.....................by using Z table or by using Excel command NORMSDIST(-0.95)
c)
A. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that less than 10 % of trips include a theme park visit.
Since, P value = 0.1718 > 0.01
