HYPOTHESIS TESTING FOR TWO PROPORTIONS

A nutritionist claims that the proportion of females who consume too much saturated fat is lower than the proportion of males who consume too much saturated fat. In interviews with 513 randomly selected, she determined that 300 consume too much saturated fat. In interviews with 564 randomly selected males, she determined that 391 consume too much saturated fat. Determine whether a lower proportion of females than males consume too much saturated fat alpha = 0.05 level of significance and state the conclusion

  1. State the null and alternative hypothesis
  2. Give a p-value
  3. Give a conclusion for the hypothesis

Expert Solution

Given that,
sample one, x1 =300, n1 =513, p1= x1/n1=0.585
sample two, x2 =391, n2 =564, p2= x2/n2=0.693
null, Ho: p1 = p2
alternate, H1: p1 < p2
level of significance, α = 0.05
from standard normal table,left tailed z α/2 =1.645
since our test is left-tailed
reject Ho, if zo < -1.645
we use test statistic (z) = (p1-p2)/√(p^q^(1/n1+1/n2))
zo =(0.585-0.693)/sqrt((0.642*0.358(1/513+1/564))
zo =-3.707
| zo | =3.707
critical value
the value of |z α| at los 0.05% is 1.645
we got |zo| =3.707 & | z α | =1.645
make decision
hence value of | zo | > | z α| and here we reject Ho
p-value: left tail - Ha : ( p < -3.7074 ) = 0.0001
hence value of p0.05 > 0.0001,here we reject Ho
ANSWERS
---------------
null, Ho: p1 = p2
alternate, H1: p1 < p2
test statistic: -3.707
critical value: -1.645
decision: reject Ho
p-value: 0.0001
we have enough evidence to support the claim that whether a lower proportion of females than males consume too much saturated fat

1. A nutritionist claims that the percentage of people that get too much sodium in their diet is greater than 60% and decides to test this assertion by computing the proportion for a random sample. The data results in a test statistic of z = 2.96 and a Pvalue of .0015 a. State the hypotheses for their test. b. Briefly describe what the P-value is. c. Using the test statistic, how was the P-value found? d. Based on the P-value...

6. A. Below are two hypothesis tests for claims made about the proportion. These are both very controversial having to do actual election results in America. In some cases I rounded numbers off for convenience. This round off is negligible and does not change conclusions of the hypothesis test. They are similar. Do either one for test credit, and both for (+5) extra credit. If you do both I will count the best one for test credit, and the other...

Researchers wanted to compare the proportion of females who are left-handed to the proportion of males who are left-handed. The researchers randomly selected 815 females and 575 males. They observed that 66 of the females and 60 of the males were left-handed. Test the claim that the proportion of females who are left-handed is lower than the proportion of males who are left-handed. Test the claim at the 5% significance level. Credit will be given for a complete analysis that...
