A television network is deciding whether or not to give its newest television show a spot during prime viewing time at night. If this is to happen, it will have to move one of its most viewed shows to another slot. The network conducts a survey asking its viewers which show they would rather watch. The network receives 827 responses, of which 438 indicate that they would like to see the new show in the lineup. The test statistic for this hypothesis would be:
We have for given example,
Population proportion value is =0.5
x=438
n=827
Estimate for sample proportion =0.5296
Z test statistic formula for proportion
=1.70
