For 1 I do not know how to set up or work this problem For 2
For #1, I do not know how to set up or work this problem.
For #2, I am not sure what test at the 5% level means, does that mean our confidence is 95% and our alpha=.05?
1. A researcher claims that 90% of people trust DNA testing. In a survey of 100 people, 91 of them said that they trusted DNA testing. Test the researcher’s claim at the 1% level of significance.
2. A teacher’s union would like to establish that the average salary for high school teachers in a particular state is less than $52,500. A random sample of 20 public high school teachers in the particular state has a mean salary of $51,578 and a standard deviation of $4,415. Test the union’s claim at the 5% level.
Solution
Formulating the null and alternatuve hypotheses,
Ho: p = 0.9
Ha: p =/= 0.9
As we see, the hypothesized po = 0.9
Getting the point estimate of p, p^,
p^ = x / n = 0.91
Getting the standard error of p^, sp,
sp = sqrt[po (1 - po)/n] = 0.03
Getting the z statistic,
z = (p^ - po)/sp = 0.333333333
As this is a 2 tailed test, then, getting the p value,
p = 0.73888268
significance level = 0.01
As P > 0.01, we FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.
Thus, there is no significant evidence that the proportion of those who trust DNA testing is not 90%. [ANSWER]
