A local private school has a statement in their recruiting materials that says no more than 35% of the students commute more than14 miles one way to school. In a sample of 35 students, 16 indicate they drive more than 14 miles one way. Test the null hypothesis at the a= 0.05 level. (Assume the variable is approximately normally distributed.)
need step by step
Solution
Set Up Hypothesis
 Null, H0:P<=0.35
 Alternate, H1: P>0.35
 Test Statistic
 No. Of Success chances Observed (x)=16
 Number of objects in a sample provided(n)=35
 No. Of Success Rate ( P )= x/n = 0.4571
 Success Probability ( Po )=0.35
 Failure Probability ( Qo) = 0.65
 we use Test Statistic (Z) for Single Proportion = P-Po/Sqrt(PoQo/n)
 Zo=0.45714-0.35/(Sqrt(0.2275)/35)
 Zo =1.3289
 | Zo | =1.3289
 Critical Value
 The Value of |Z | at LOS 0.05% is 1.64
 We got |Zo| =1.329 & | Z  | =1.64
 Make Decision
 Hence Value of |Zo | < | Z  | and Here we Do not Reject Ho
 P-Value: Right Tail - Ha : ( P > 1.32894 ) = 0.09193
 Hence Value of P0.05 < 0.09193,Here We Do not Reject Ho
in their recruiting materials that says no more than 35% of the students commute
 more than 14 miles one way to school.
