You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly different from 0.36. With H1 : p ≠ 0.36 you obtain a test statistic of z = 2.074 . Use a normal distribution calculator and the test statistic to find the P-value accurate to 4 decimal places. It may be left-tailed, right-tailed, or 2-tailed.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.36 so then we need to conduct a two tailed test, the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation n  

n represent the random sample taken

estimated proportion of interest

is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.36 so then we need to conduct a two tailed test, the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

(1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion  is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

Calculate the statistic  

For this case the statistic is given:

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

answer: true
