Do a larger proportion of college students than young children eat cereal? Researchers surveyed both age groups to find the answer.
The results are shown in the table below.
-------------------------------------------------------------
(a) State the hypotheses used to answer the question.
Ho: p(college)-p(children) = 0
Ha: p(coll)-p(chil) > 0
------------------------------------
(b) Using alpha = .05, state the decision rule and sketch it.
Reject Ho if z > 1.645
---------------------------
(c) Find the sample proportions and z statistic.
Phat(col) = 0.98 ; phat(chil) = -.935
test stat = z = 4.5065
p-value = p(z> 4.5065) = 0.000003298...
----------------------------------------
(d) Make a decision.
Since the p-value is so small, reject Ho; the proportions are not equal.
------------------------
(e) Find the p-value and interpret it
(f) Is the normality assumption fulfilled? Explain.
I'll leave that to you.
