Question

Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is larger than 20% at the 0.01 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

 

H0:μ≥0.2H0:μ≥0.2
H1:μ<0.2H1:μ<0.2
H0:p≥0.2H0:p≥0.2
H1:p<0.2H1:p<0.2
H0:μ≤0.2H0:μ≤0.2
H1:μ>0.2H1:μ>0.2
H0:μ=0.2H0:μ=0.2
H1:μ≠0.2H1:μ≠0.2
H0:p=0.2H0:p=0.2
H1:p≠0.2H1:p≠0.2
H0:p≤0.2H0:p≤0.2
H1:p>0.2H1:p>0.2



The test is:

 

left-tailed
right-tailed
two-tailed



Based on a sample of 700 people, 27% owned cats

The p-value is:  (to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

  • Reject the null hypothesis
  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
