In Exercises 3–6, determine whether a normal sampling distribution can be used. If it can be used, test the claim.
Claim: p > 0.70, α=0.04. Sample statistics: p_hat = 0.64, n=225

Step 1: Verify the conditions for using a normal sampling distribution. The two conditions are: (1) The sample size n must be large enough such that both n * p and n * (1 - p) are greater than or equal to 5, where p is the hypothesized population proportion. (2) The sampling must be random and independent.
Step 2: Calculate the standard error (SE) of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion using the formula: SE = sqrt((p * (1 - p)) / n), where p is the hypothesized population proportion and n is the sample size.
Step 3: Compute the z-test statistic using the formula: z = (p_hat - p) / SE, where p_hat is the sample proportion, p is the hypothesized population proportion, and SE is the standard error calculated in Step 2.
Step 4: Determine the critical value for the given significance level α = 0.04. Since the claim is one-tailed (p > 0.70), find the z-critical value corresponding to the upper tail of the standard normal distribution.
Step 5: Compare the z-test statistic to the z-critical value. If the z-test statistic is greater than the z-critical value, reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret the result in the context of the claim.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Normal Sampling Distribution

A normal sampling distribution is a probability distribution of sample means or proportions that approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases, according to the Central Limit Theorem. For proportions, this is applicable when both np and n(1-p) are greater than 5, ensuring that the sample size is sufficiently large to approximate normality.

Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis testing is a statistical method used to make decisions about a population based on sample data. It involves formulating a null hypothesis (H0) and an alternative hypothesis (H1), then using sample statistics to determine whether to reject H0 in favor of H1, based on a predetermined significance level (α).

Step 1: Write Hypotheses

Significance Level (α)

The significance level (α) is the threshold for determining whether a result is statistically significant. It represents the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true (Type I error). In this case, α=0.04 indicates a 4% risk of making such an error, guiding the decision-making process in hypothesis testing.

Hypothesis Testing Using Rejection Regions In Exercises 23–30, (a) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (b) find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s), (c) find the standardized test statistic X^2, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume the population is normally distributed.


Salaries The annual salaries (in dollars) of 15 randomly chosen senior level graphic design specialists are shown in the table at the left. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation of the annual salaries is different from \$13,056?
