USA Today reported that about 47% of the general consumer
population in the United States
is loyal to the automobile manufacturer of their choice. Suppose
Chevrolet did a study of a
random sample of 1006 Chevrolet owners and found that 490 said they
would buy another
Chevrolet. Does this indicate that the population proportion of
consumers loyal to Chevrolet is
more than 47%? Use 1% level of significance.
a. Identify the underlying distribution and state why.
b. State the null hypothesis.
c. State the alternative hypothesis.
d. Circle one: One Tail Test / Two Tail Test.
e. State the critical value for the hypothesis test.
f. Illustrate graphically the rejection region.
g. Compute the test statistic.
h. Find the p-value for the test statistic.
i. Give the significant statement for the hypothesis test: At the
________ level of significance,
there is ______________________ evidence to reject the null
hypothesis.
j. State the critical value for the estimation of the confidence
interval.
k. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of
consumers who are loyal to
Chevrolet.
i. Margin of error:
ii. Confidence Interval:
l. Give the confidence statement for the confidence interval: I am
_________ confident that the
true ________________________ of consumers who are loyal to
Chevrolet is between
____________ and ______________.
