In: Statistics and Probability
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly less than 64%. With H1 : p < 64% you obtain a test statistic of z = − 1.241 . Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places.
Solution:
Given in the question
The claim is the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their
prostate examined is significantly less than 64%
Sample size = 50
Alternate hypothesis H1 : p < 64%
This hypothesis is left tailed hypothesis and one-tailed
hypothesis.
Test statistic Z = -1.241
From Z table we found p-value = 0.1075
