Solution

I'm sorry, but you didn't provide a specific question or p-value to work with. However, I can guide you on how to determine if the proportion of the population in favor of Candidate A is significantly more than 75% using a hypothesis test for a proportion.

Here are the steps:

  1. State the hypotheses. The null hypothesis H0 is p = 0.75. The alternative hypothesis Ha is p > 0.75.

  2. Calculate the test statistic. The formula for the test statistic is (p̂ - p) / sqrt[(p(1 - p) / n], where p̂ is the sample proportion, p is the proportion in the null hypothesis, and n is the sample size. In this case, p̂ = 0.80, p = 0.75, and n = 100.

  3. Determine the p-value. The p-value is the probability of observing a sample statistic as extreme as the test statistic. Since the alternative hypothesis is p > 0.75, the p-value is the probability that the z-score is greater than the test statistic. You can find this probability using a z-table or a calculator with a normal distribution function.

  4. Make a decision. If the p-value is less than the significance level (usually 0.05), reject the null hypothesis.

Without a specific p-value, I can't complete the last two steps. But I hope this helps you understand the process!

A political polling agency wants to take a random sample of registered voters and ask whether or not they will vote for a certain candidate. One plan is to select 400 voters, another plan is select 1,600 voters.Which of the following is true regarding the sample proportion p̂ of "yes" responses? The sample proportion from the sample of 400 is more likely to be close to the true population proportion, p. The sample proportion from sample of 1,600 is more likely to be close to the true population proportion, p. The sample proportion in either proposal is equally likely to be close to the true population proportion, p, since the sampling is random.
