During the first 13 weeks of the television season, the Saturday evening 8:00 p. m. to 9:00 p. m. audience proportions were recorded as ABC 30%, CBS 27%, NBC 26%, and independents 17%. A sample of 300 homes two weeks after a Saturday night schedule revision yielded the following viewing audience data: ABC 96 homes, CBS 69 homes, NBC 90 homes, and independents 45 homes.

Test with α = 0.05 to determine whether the viewing audience proportions changed.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: pABC ≠ 0.30, pCBS ≠ 0.27, pNBC ≠ 0.26, pIND ≠ 0.17
Ha: pABC = 0.30, pCBS = 0.27, pNBC = 0.26, pIND = 0.17 H0: pABC = 0.30, pCBS = 0.27, pNBC = 0.26, pIND = 0.17
Ha: pABC ≠ 0.30, pCBS ≠ 0.27, pNBC ≠ 0.26, pIND ≠ 0.17 H0: The proportions are not pABC = 0.30, pCBS = 0.27, pNBC = 0.26, pIND = 0.17.
Ha: pABC = 0.30, pCBS = 0.27, pNBC = 0.26, pIND = 0.17 H0: pABC = 0.30, pCBS = 0.27, pNBC = 0.26, pIND = 0.17
Ha: The proportions are not pABC = 0.30, pCBS = 0.27, pNBC = 0.26, pIND = 0.17.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

State your conclusion.

Reject H0. There has been a significant change in the viewing audience proportions. Reject H0. There has not been a significant change in the viewing audience proportions. Do not reject H0. There has been a significant change in the viewing audience proportions. Do not reject H0. There has not been a significant change in the viewing audience proportions.
