Ten years ago 53% of american families owned stocks or stock funds. sample data collected by the investment company institute indicate that the percentage is now 46% (the wall street journal, october 5, 2012)

a. develop appropriate hypotheses such that rejection of h0 will support the conclusion that a smaller proportion of american families own stocks or stock funds in 2012 than 10 years ago.
b. assume the investment company institute sampled 300 american families to estimate that the percent owning stocks or stock funds was 46% in 2012. what is the p-value for your hypothesis test?
c. at α = .01, what is your conclusion?

a) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.53$

Alternative hypothesis: p < 0.53

b) $z=\frac{0.46 -0.53}{\sqrt{\frac{0.53(1-0.53)}{300}}}=-2.429$

p_v =P(Z

c) So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of American families owning stocks or stock funds is significantly less than 0.53 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=300 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.46$ estimated proportion of American families owning stocks or stock funds

p_o=0.53 is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

Part a

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that proportion is less than 0.53 or 53%.:

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.53$

Alternative hypothesis: p < 0.53

Part b

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:

$z=\frac{0.46 -0.53}{\sqrt{\frac{0.53(1-0.53)}{300}}}=-2.429$

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 $\alpha=0.01$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(Z

Part c

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of American families owning stocks or stock funds is significantly less than 0.53 .
