A university conducted a study of online adults that included
405405
tablet owners. The study found that
213213
tablet owners use their tablet while watching TV. The authors of the report imply that the survey proves that more than half of all tablet owners use their tablet while watching TV at least once per day. Complete parts(a) through (d) below.
a. Use the five-step p-value approach to hypothesis testing and a
0.050.05
level of significance to try to prove that more than half of all tablet owners use their tablet while watching TV at least once per day. Determine the null hypothesis,
Upper H 0H0,
and the alternative hypothesis,
Upper H 1H1.
Upper H 0H0:

equals=
nothing
Upper H 1H1:

(Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
What are the level of significance,
alphaα,
and sample size, n?The level of significance is
nothing.
The sample size is
nothing.
(Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
Determine the appropriate sampling distribution and test statistic. Select the correct choice below and, ifnecessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A.Use the normal distribution and the
Upper Z Subscript STATZSTAT
test statistic.
B.Use the t distribution with
nothing
degrees of freedom and the
t Subscript STATtSTAT
test statistic.
Determine the test statistic.
The test statistic is
nothing.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Determine the p-value.
The p-value is
nothing.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

1)
Determine the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis,
The authors of the report imply that the survey proves that more than half of all tablet owners use their tablet while watching TV at least once per day.
I.e P > 0.5
Ho : P = 0.5 vs Ha: P > 0.5
2)
What is the level of significance,
α =0.05
sample size, n = 405
3)
Determine the appropriate sampling distribution and test statistic.
A.Use the normal distribution and the
Zstat test statistic.
4)
Reject the null hypothesis.
The claim is valid.
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that more than half of all tablet owners use their tablet while watching TV at least once per day because the p-value is less than the level of significance.
Compare the results of parts (b) and (c).
The results of part (b) are different from the results of part (c).
Adding additional tablet owners that use their tablets while watching TV increases the possibility that more than half of all tablet owners use their tablets while watching TV at least once per day.
