Question

Assume a significance level of alpha = 0.05 and use the given information to complete parts (a) and (b) below Original claim: The proportion of male golfers is less than 0.1. The hypothesis test results in a P-value of 0.108 a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H_0 or fail to reject H_0.) Choose the correct answer below Reject H_0 because the P-value is less than alpha Fail to reject H_0 because the P-value is greater than alpha. Reject H_0 because the P-value is greater than alpha. Fail to reject H_0 because the P-value is less than alpha. b. Without using technical terms, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Which of the following is the correct conclusion? There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of male golfers is less than 0.1. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of male golfers is less than 0.1. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the proportion of male golfers is less than 0.1. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the proportion of male golfers is less than 0.1.

Explanation / Answer

(a) The p-value of the hypothesis test = 0.108 and the level of significance = 0.05.

Since p-value > level of significance, we fail to reject H0.

So the correct choice is (B). (Ans).

(b) Since we fail to reject H0, we can say there is no sufficient evidence that the proportion of mail golfers is less than 0.1

So the correct choice is (C). (Ans).
