12.2 Power Point

1. The document outlines the steps for conducting a one-proportion z-test, including stating the hypotheses, checking conditions, performing calculations, and interpreting results. 2. Key parts of the test include specifying the null and alternative hypotheses using symbols p and p0, ensuring a simple random sample of sufficient size, and calculating the test statistic and p-value to determine statistical significance. 3. The interpretation involves either rejecting or failing to reject the null based on the p-value compared to the significance level alpha and placing the conclusions in context.

Tests about a Population Proportion

Section 12.2
Components of a Significance Test for a
Proportion

1. Name the procedure:


a one-proportion z test

2. State the hypotheses and define


any symbols used:
H0: p = p0
Ha: p <, >, or ≠ p0

p is the…

Proportion

3. Check the conditions:


S – SRS from the population of
interest

I – N>10n (show and explain your


math!)

N – if both np0 and n(1 - p0) are both


> 10 it is safe to use the z test

Proportion

4. Do the math:
calculate your test statistic:
pˆ  p0
z
p0 (1  p0 )
n
calculate your P-value:
P(Z ≥ z) or P(Z ≤ z) or 2P(Z ≥ |z|)

5. Write your interpretation in


context:

“This test is/is not statistically


significant because the P-value, ____,
is </> α, ____. Therefore, I reject/fail
to reject the null hypothesis that ____
______________________________.”
Activity 12
 Test the null and alternative
hypotheses using the data that we
collected from the entire class
during Friday’s penny activity.
True or False?
 A student took a 40-question true/false test and
got 30 correct. The student says, “that proves that
I wasn’t guessing.”

 What is the standard (the hypothesized value,


p0, of the population proportion)?

 What is the student’s alternate hypothesis?

 What is the sample proportion?

 Is the result statistically significant?

 Does this prove that the student was not


guessing?
