1.
H0 : p >= 0.05
Ha : p < 0.05 (airline claim)
-------------------------------------
2. = 1%
3. Test statistics:
z(19/420) = (0.0452 - 0.05)= 0.0048/sqrt[0.05*0.95/420] = -0.4514
---
4. P-value or critical z0 or t0.
p-value = P(z< -0.4478) = normalcdf(-100,-0.4514) = 0.3259..
----------------------------
5. Rejection Region:
cv = invNorm(0.01) = -2.326..
Reject Ho if ts < -2.326
--------------------------------
6. Decision: Since the p-value is greater than 1%, fail to reject Ho.
------
7. Interpretation:
The proportion of no-shows is greater than or equal to 5% at
a 1% significance level. These test results support denying
the airline's claim.
