Question

Gender and College Students: According to the U.S. Department of Education, approximately 57% of students attending colleges in the U.S. are female. A statistics student is curious whether this is true at her college. She tests the hypotheses H0: p = 0.57 versus Ha: p ≠ 0.57. The P‐value is not small enough to reject the null hypothesis. Which of the following is an appropriate conclusion?

Answer 1

Answer:

57%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the p-value is not small enough to reject the null hypothesis (H0: p = 0.57), it means that there isn't sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of female students at her college differs significantly from 57%. Therefore, an appropriate conclusion would be:

"We fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to suggest that the proportion of female students at the college differs significantly from 57%.
