In: Statistics and Probability
A suggestion is made that the proportion of people who have food allergies and/or sensitivities is 0.54. You believe that the proportion is actually different from 0.54. The hypotheses for this test are Null Hypothesis: p = 0.54, Alternative Hypothesis: p ≠ 0.54. If you select a random sample of 23 people and 13 have a food allergy and/or sensitivity, what is your test statistic and p-value?

Your answer
Test statistic z= 0.2427
P value = 0.8083

p=13/23=0.5652

=0.2427
