$z=\frac{0.427 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{110}}}=-1.531$

p_v =P(z

If we compare the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we have that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 10% of significance the proportion of tails is significantly less than 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=110 represent the random sample taken

X=47 represent the number of tails obtained

$\hat p=\frac{47}{110}=0.427$ estimated proportion of tails

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.1$ represent the significance level

Confidence=90% or 0.90

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of tails is lower than 0.5:

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: p < 0.5

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o .

3) Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.427 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{110}}}=-1.531$

4) Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.1$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(z

An office supply company conducted a survey before marketing a new paper shredder designed for home use. in the survey, 80 % of the people who tried the shredder were satisfied with it. because of this high satisfaction rate, the company decided to market the new shredder. assume that 80 % of all people are satisfied with this shredder. during a certain month, 100 customers bought this shredder. find the probability that of these 100 customers, the number who are satisfied is 69 or fewer.
