a publisher reports that 45% of their readers own a particular make of car. a marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage. a random sample of 300 found that 37% of the readers owned a particular make of car. determine the p-value of the test statistic. round your answer to four decimal places.



Answer :

The test statistic's p-value is -2.785.

According to A publisher, 45% of its readers own a particular make of car.

Claim: An executive in marketing would like to test the claim that the percentage is different from what is reported.

[tex]H_{o}[/tex]: p = 0.45

[tex]H_{a}[/tex]: p ≠ 0.45

a random sample of 300 found that 37% of the readers owned a particular make of car.

= 37% × 300

= (37 ÷ 100) × 300

X = 111

n= 300

One sample proportion test should be used.

p-vector = x ÷ n,

p-vector = 111 ÷ 300

p-vector = 0.37

The test statistic's formula,

= [tex]\frac{p-q}{\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } }[/tex]

test statistic = [tex]\frac{0.37- 0.45}{\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{300} } }[/tex]

≈ -2.7851

thus, the p-value of the test statistic is -2.7851.
