In a recent poll it was found that 43% of registered U.S. voters would vote for the incumbent president. If 100 registered voters were sampled randomly, it was found that 35% would vote of the incumbent. Test the claim that the actual proportion is 43% the level of singifiance is 0.01
Ho: p = 0.43
Ha: p is not equal to 0.43
--------------
alpha=1%
--------------------------
Test statistics: z(0.35) = (0.35-0.43)/sqrt[0.43*0.57/100] = -1.6159
------------------------------------
P-value or critical Zo or to.: z*= +/-2.576
-------------------------------------------------
Rejection region: z<-2.576 ; z > 2.576
---------------------------------------------------
Decision: Since the test satistic is not in the rejection interval(s),
Fail to reject Ho
--------------------------------------------------------
Interpretation:
The test results provide evidence for Ho, that 43% of registered U.S. voters would vote for the incumbent president.
