In: Statistics and Probability
Your statistics instructor claims that 60 percent of the students
who take her Elementary Statistics class go through life feeling
more enriched. For some reason that she can't quite figure out,
most people don't believe her. You decide to check this out on your
own. You randomly survey 64 of her past Elementary Statistics
students and find that 34 feel more enriched as a result of her
class. Now, what do you think? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5%
level.
Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the
problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally
distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption,
though.)
1. State the distribution to use for the test. (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom.)
2. What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
3. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion. Sketch the graph of the situation. Label the point estimate and the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
