Example 1: Hypothesis Test for a Proportion (1 of 2) A research center claims that less than 50% of U. S. adults have accessed the Internet over a wireless network with a laptop computer. In a random sample of 100 adults, 39% say they have accessed the Internet over a wireless network with a laptop computer. At α = 0. 01, is there enough evidence to support the researcher’s claim? (Adopted from Pew Research Center) Solution • Verify that np ≥ 5 and nq ≥ 5. np = 100(0. 50) = 50 and nq = 100(0. 50) = 50 Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Example 1: Hypothesis Test for a Proportion (2 of 2) • Decision: Fail to reject H 0 At the 1% level of significance, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that less than 50% of U. S. adults have accessed the Internet over a wireless network with a laptop computer. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Example 2: Hypothesis Test for a Proportion (1 of 2) • The Research Center claims that 25% of college graduates think a college degree is not worth the cost. You decide to test this claim and ask a random sample of 200 college graduates whether they think a college is not worth the cost. Of those surveyed, 21% reply yes. At α = 0. 10 is there enough evidence to reject the claim? Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
