Hint: The standard deviation of population and the standard deviation of the sample are unknown, thus you have to use the square root of p(1-p)/n as a best estimate of the standard deviation.
Given : n=60 , X=27
The estimate of the sample proportion is ,
a.
The null and alternative hypothesis is ,
The test is one-tailed test.
The test statistic is ,
The critical value is ,
; From Z-table
Decision : Here , the value of the test statistic does not lies in the rejection region.
Therefore , fail to reject Ho.
Conclusion : There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the population proportion of basketball players who have not had a missed shot in MBA last year is greater than 0.42.
b.
The null and alternative hypothesis is ,
The test is two-tailed test.
The test statistic is ,
The p-value is ,
p-value=
; From Z-table
Decision : Here , p-value > 0.05.
Therefore , fail to reject Ho.
Conclusion : There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim thatthe population proportion of customers who are completely satisfied is different from 0.5.
