A buyer went to the market to buy strawberries. He purchased 120 randomly selected strawberries from a vendor who claimed that no more than 25% of his total harvest of strawberries was damaged. After reaching home, the buyer found that 40 of the strawberries were damaged. Calculate the p-value for the test that the vendor's claim is incorrect. Round your answer to three decimal places.

At 5% of significance we can conclude that the true proportion of strawberries damage is higher than 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=120 represent the random sample taken

X=40 represent the number of strawberries damaged

estimated proportion of strawberries damaged

is the value that we want to test

represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that no more than 25% of his total harvest of strawberries was damaged.:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

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

(1)  

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

Calculate the statistic  

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

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 next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

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

At 5% of significance we can conclude that the true proportion of strawberries damage is higher than 0.25

hi there!

the answer to this question is d: 35

step-by-step explanation:

5 to the power of 2 is 25

2 multiplied by 5 is 10

then you add the 2 numbers and you get 35
