Question

A college administrator predicts that the proportion of students that are nursing majors is greater than 40%. To test this, a group of 400 students are randomly selected and it's determined that 190 are nursing majors. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test:

H0:p=0.40
Ha:p>0.40

In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.001. Find the conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the following data:

H0:p=0.40 (null hypothesis)

Ha:p>0.40 (alternative hypothesis)

The p-value was determined to be 0.001.

a significance level of 5%

Since the p value (0.001) is less than the significance level (0.05), we will reject the null hypothesis and then we would conclude that the proportion of students that are nursing majors is greater than 0.4.
