You interview a random sample of 50 adults. the results of the survey show that 46% of the adults said they were more likely to buy a product when there are free samples. at alphaequals0.05, can you reject the claim that at least 51% of the adults are more likely to buy a product when there are free samples?

$z=\frac{0.46 -0.51}{\sqrt{\frac{0.51(1-0.51)}{50}}}=-0.707$

p_v =P(z

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults who said they were more likely to buy a product when there are free samples is higher or equal than 0.51

Explanation:

Data given and notation

n=50 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p==0.46$ estimated proportion of adults who said they were more likely to buy a product when there are free samples

p_o=0.51 is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is at least 0.51 or no.:

Null hypothesis: $p \geq 0.51$

Alternative hypothesis: p < 0.51

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.46 -0.51}{\sqrt{\frac{0.51(1-0.51)}{50}}}=-0.707$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is left tailed the p value would be:

p_v =P(z

Juanita and sam attend a beach party and notice that the local beach appears to have a great deal more trash washed up on shore than it did when they were young. the water doesn't appear nearly as clear, and there seems to be less evidence of small water creatures living in the shallows. an afternoon at the local library convinces them that one major cause is the new factory nearby. after some discussion, they decide their next step should be identifying the cause of the changes identifying the problem picketing the guilty factory lobbying their elected representatives to complain about the problem talking to a local environmental group about solutions
