What is your conclusion for the following claim: Claim: p = 0.34, P-value = 0.014, and a (alpha) = 0.05.

Question

What is your conclusion for the following claim: Claim: p = 0.34, P-value = 0.014, and α (alpha) = 0.05.

 

 

 

A. there is not enough information to draw a conclusion

 
B. fail to reject null

 
C. reject null

 
D. the proportion is equal to 0.34.

Answer 1

reject the null hypothesis because p-value < α

Answer 2

Ho: p = 0.34 vs H1: p != 0.34

 

Since the p-value and alpha are given to us, we do not need to calculate the critical values.

 

If we assume the above hypothesis, we reject the null hypothesis (Ho) because p-value (0.014) is less than alpha (0.05).
