The head accountant at Raglan resources is concerned over the clerical errors on outgoing invoices and suspects that more than 20% of these invoices contain at least one error. In a random sample of 500 invoices, 120 are found to contain at least one error. Do these data support the account’s views? Let alpha=.05
-------------------
Ho: p <= 0.20
Ha: p > 0.20 (claim)
--------
p-hat = 120/500 = 0.24
-----
z(0.24) = (0.24-0.20)/sqrt[0.20*0.80/500) = 2.2361
-----
P-value = P(z > 2.2361) = 0.0127
---------
Conclusion: Since the p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
The test results support the claim.
