over the past several years, a random sample of 40 women athletes at the school showed that 23 eventually graduated. does this indicate that the population proportion of women athletes who graduate from the university is now less than 67%? use a 1% level of significance.

Respuesta :

The population proportion of women athletes who graduated from the university is more than 67%.

A random sample  of 40 women athletes at the school showed that 23 eventually graduated.

n=40 , X=23 , p0 =67% = 0.67 , alpha = 1% = 0.01

H0: : p0 = 0.67  Vs  H1 : p0 < 0.67

Test statistics = (p-p0) / (square root ((p0(1-p0) / n))

p=X/n

H0::p0=0.67  Vs  H1:p0<0.67

Test statistics = z = (p-p0) / ( square root ((p0(1-p0)/n))

p=X/n=23/40

z = (0.575-0.67) / (square root (0.67(1-0.67)/40))=-1.278

P - value = P(z < -1.278) = 0.1007

Since the p-value is  0.1007 that is less than the level of significance the decision is to reject the null hypothesis. In conclusion, there is a sufficient evidence to support that the population proportion of women athletes who graduated is now more than 67%.
