An e-commerce research company claims that 60% or more graduate students have bought merchandise on-line at their site. A consumer group is suspicious of the claim and thinks that the proportion is lower than 60%. A random sample of 80 graduate students show that only 44 students have ever done so. Is there enough evidence to show that the true proportion is lower than 60%

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of graduate students show that only 44 students have ever done so is not significantly lower than 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=80 represent the random sample taken

X=44 represent the students that have bought merchandise on-line at their site

estimated proportion of graduate students show that only 44 students have ever done so

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 the true proportion of interest is lower than 0.6 or 60%, so then the system of hypothesis are.:  

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 significance level assumed for this case is . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

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

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of graduate students show that only 44 students have ever done so is not significantly lower than 0.6

no not all of them.

step-by-step explanation:

some of them have a square base.

false

step-by-step explanation:

rulers and compasses arent required in order to bisect an angle because when bisecting angles, you're making a "half circle" and considering in order to bisect an angle it wouldn't be straight, you wouldn't need either of the two
