You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a certain upscale suburb of new york with a population of 80000, 15% people are assumed to be millionaires. in a randomly chosen sample of 7836, 823 were found to be millionaires. is the claim that 15% people are millionaires true?
--------
Ho: p = 0.15 (claim)
Ha: p # 0.15
----------------
sample proportion = p-hat = 823/7836 = 0.105
----
z(0.105) = (0.105-0.15)/sqrt[0.15*0.85/823] = -3.615
-------
p-value = 2*P(z < -3.615) = 0.0003
=====
Conclusion:: Since the p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
The test results do not support the claim.
