Ho :   p =    0.28                  
H1 :   p >   0.28       (Right tail test)          
                          
Level of Significance,   α =    0.05                  
Number of Items of Interest,   x =   7                  
Sample Size,   n =    19                  
                          
Sample Proportion ,    p̂ = x/n =    0.3684                  
                          
Standard Error ,    SE = √( p(1-p)/n ) =    0.1030                  
Z Test Statistic = ( p̂-p)/SE = (   0.3684   -   0.28   ) /   0.1030   =   0.8584
                              
                          
p-Value   =   0.195337173   [Excel function =NORMSDIST(-z)              
Decision:   p value>α ,do not reject null hypothesis

                      
There is not enough evidence that morning calls have been increaseed considerably.

Thanks in advance!

For the past 30 years, the Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) at Texas A&M has conducted energy audits of manufacturing facilities. To date they have audited 780 factories resulting in over $375 million dollars in energy savings. Assume that savings per factory is normally distributed with an average $484,000 with a standard deviation of $135,000. Dr. Rasmussen believes that audits conducted in factories managed by Aggies are more successful. He randomly selects 10 facilities managed by Aggies and determines that they...
