Note:
We can also use the
Large Sample Test for a Single Population
Proportion
workbook to help with the computations for this example.
Figure 12-4
shows the output from the workbook. It shows that the null
hypothesis will be rejected.

Next we will discuss the
P
-value approach
to hypothesis testing.
P
-Value Approach to Hypothesis Testing
With the advent of the computer and other forms of technology, such as
calculators, certain probabilities can be readily computed and used to help
make decisions in hypothesis testing. One such probability value is called
the
P
-value.
