What is the appropriate test?

A
z-test for one proportion
B
z-test for two proportions
C
z-confidence interval for one proportion
D
z-confidence interval for two proportions
6

The P-value of this test is 0.1586.

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.

B
using n = 50 instead of n = 100
C
using n = 30 instead of n = 100
D
using α = 0.1 instead of α = 0.01

Based upon the 95% confidence interval, is it plausible that p = 0.7, meaning 70% of the employees, will attend the party?

A
Because 0.7 falls within the 95% confidence interval, we reject p = 0.7 as a plausible value for the proportion of all employees who will attend the party.
B
Because 0.7 falls within the 95% confidence interval, p = 0.7 is a plausible value for the proportion of all employees who will attend the party.
C
Because 0.7 falls outside the 95% confidence interval, we reject p = 0.7 as a plausible value for the proportion of all employees who will attend the party.
D
Because 0.7 falls outside the 95% confidence interval, p = 0.7 is a plausible value for the proportion of all employees who will attend the party.
