In: Statistics and Probability
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly more than 0.57. You use a significance level of α = 0.001
H 0 : p = 0.57
H1:p>0.57
You obtain a sample of size n=273 in which there are 177 successes.
What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
test statistic =
What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =
The p-value is...
A)less than (or equal to) α
B) greater than α
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
A)reject the null
B)accept the null
C)fail to reject the null
As such, the final conclusion is that...
A)There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is more than 0.57.
B)There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is more than 0.57.
C)The sample data support the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is more than 0.57.
D)There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is more than 0.57.
