Chapter 12: Hypothesis Tests – Large Samples

Figure 12-5:

Rejection Region for

Example 12-3

Note:

We can also use the

Large Sample Test for a Single Population

Proportion

workbook to help with the computation for this example.

Figure 12- 6

shows the output from the workbook. It shows that the null

hypothesis will not be rejected for the left-tailed test.

Figure 12- 6:

Display of the Test for a Single Population

Proportion workbook output for

Example 12-3

The output is given in

Figure 12-6

shows that the

P

-value = 0.9531 >

=

0.01 (1%) so if we use the

P

-value approach to perform the test, the null

hypothesis will not be rejected and one will have the same conclusion as

when the classical approachwas used.

(c) Two–tailed Test

(where

is a specified proportion value)
