You can put this solution on YOUR website! Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the area. In a survey of 100 viewers, 36% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station.
------------
30. What is the null hypothesis?
Ho: p >= 0.41
Ha: p < 0.41
-------
31. What is the alternate hypothesis?
-----
32. What is the sample proportion?
sample proportion: 0.36
---------------------
33. What is the critical value if a = 0.01 ?
invNorm(0.01) = -2.3263
---------------------
34. What is the z-statistic?
z(0.36) = (0.36-0.41)/sqrt{0.41*0.59/100) = -1.0166
-------------------------
35. What is the critical value if the level of significance is 0.10?
invNorm(0.10) = -1.2816
-------------------------
36. What is your decision if a = 0.01
Since the test stat is not in the reject interval, fail to reject Ho.
