a radio manufacturer claims that 65% of teenagers 13 to 16 years old have their own portable radios. A researcher wishes to test the claim and selects a random sample of 80 teeagers.She finds that 57 have their own portable radios. at a=0.05 sould the claim be rejected?use te P=value method.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: p = 0.65 (claim)
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: p is not equal to 0.65
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "sample proportion: 57/80 = 0.71
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "test statistic: z(0.71) = (0.71-0.65)/sqrt[0.65*0.35/80[ = 1.1720
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "p-value = 2*P(z>1.1720) = 0.2412
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Conclusion: Since the p-value is greater than 5%, fail to reject Ho.
\n" ); document.write( "The test results support the manufacturer's claim.
