A random sample of 163 recent donations at a certain blood b
A random sample of 163 recent donations at a certain blood bank reveals that 82 were type A blood. Does this suggest that the actual percentage of type A donations differs from 40%, the percentage of the population having type A blood? Carry out a test of the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.01.
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: p = 0.40
Ha: p < 0.40H0: p = 0.40
Ha: p > 0.40 H0: p 0.40
Ha: p = 0.40H0: p = 0.40
Ha: p 0.40
State the rejection region(s). If the critical region is one-sided, enter NONE for the unused region. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Compute the test statistic value. Round your answer to two decimal places.

State the conclusion in the problem context.
Reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of type A donations differs from 40%.Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of type A donations differs from 40%. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of type A donations differs from 40%.Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of type A donations differs from 40%.
Would your conclusion have been different if a significance level of 0.05 had been used?
YesNo

Solution
Set Up Hypothesis
Null, H0:P=0.4
Alternate, H1: P!=0.4
Test Statistic
No. Of Success chances Observed (x)=82
Number of objects in a sample provided(n)=163
No. Of Success Rate ( P )= x/n = 0.5031
Success Probability ( Po )=0.4
Failure Probability ( Qo) = 0.6
we use Test Statistic (Z) for Single Proportion = P-Po/Sqrt(PoQo/n)
Zo=0.50307-0.4/(Sqrt(0.24)/163)
Zo =2.686
| Zo | =2.686
Critical Value
The Value of |Z | at LOS 0.01% is 2.58
We got |Zo| =2.686 & | Z | =2.58
Make Decision
Hence Value of | Zo | > | Z | and Here we Reject Ho
P-Value: Two Tailed ( double the one tail ) - Ha : ( P != 2.68602 ) = 0.00723
Hence Value of P0.01 > 0.0072,Here we Reject Ho
ANS:
z -2.58
z 2.58
Z = 2.69
Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that
the percentage of type A donations differs from 40%
No
