Assume a significance level of alpha 0 05 and use the given

Assume a significance level of alpha = 0 05 and use the given information to complete parts (a) and (b) below Original claim The proportion of male golfers is more than 0.6. The hypothesis test results in a P-value of 0.141. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H_0 or fail to reject H_0 ) Choose the correct answer below. Without using technical terms, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim Which of the following is the correct conclusion?

Solution

a) SInce P-value is greater than significance level we fail to reject the null hypothesis . Thus option D is correct.

b)

Claim goes in alternate hypothesis. Thus the null hypothesis would be that proportion of male golfers is less than or equal to 0.6. Thus there is not enough evidence to suppot the claim that proportion of male golfers is more than 0.6.

Thus option A is correct.
