Given that the null hypothesis is The population proportion

Given that the null hypothesis is “The population proportion is 0.50” and the alternative hypothesis is “The population proportion is greater than 0.50”. Our test statistic is +1.96 with a p-value of 0.025. The p-value is the probability of

A) obtaining our test statistic value or larger value, if in fact the population proportion is 0.50
B) obtaining our test statistic value or smaller value, if in fact the population proportion is 0.50
C) obtaining our test statistic value or larger value, if in fact the population proportion is greater than 0.50
D) obtaining our test statistic value or smaller value, if in fact the population proportion is greater than 0.50

Solution

As this is a RIGHT TAILED test, then it is obtaining our test statistic OR LARGER. Thus,

A) obtaining our test statistic value or larger value, if in fact the population proportion is 0.50 [ANSWER, A]
