Testing a Claim about a Population Proportion

Question 6 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)

The P-value of this test is 0.1586.

Answer
A
The P-value of 0.1586 is less than α = 0.05; therefore, we fail to reject H0.
B
The P-value of 0.1586 is less than α = 0.05; therefore, we reject H0.
C
The P-value of 0.1586 is greater than α = 0.05; therefore, we reject H0.
D
The P-value of 0.1586 is greater than α = 0.05; therefore, we fail to reject H0.

Explanation

Compare the P-value, 0.1586, with the significance level α = 0.05. Since 0.1586 is greater than 0.05, the result is not statistically significant at this level, so we fail to reject H₀. Choice D states this conclusion.
