It is the same idea as last time, but now you are comparing proportions rather than means. But you use the proportion standard error: You hypothesis test is: \[H_0: p = 0.52\\ H_1: p > 0.52 \] Your test statistic is \[\frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}} \] I just used general notation so you know what's going on. \(p_0=0.52\), the null value, and \(\hat{p}=0.65\) your calculated value
And this statistic follows a standard normal distribution (approximately), so you look up the appropriate value in a standard normal table to find the rejection region.
I can check a), I'll try it out
Calculation is correct. But when you are using proportions, the statistic is from a normal(0,1) distribution rather than a t distribution. This comes from the fact that the proportion are coming from a binomial type of distribution, but is approximately normal under the central limit theorem.
yes
Your welcome Which formula did you use for a)?
It calculates it automatically?
Oh never mind, it is correct... I pressed an extra 0 by accident on my end :P
Sorry about that
