In lobbying Congress for action to correct the ozone depletion problem, the environmental group Save Planet Earth claims that 70% of the population supports the ban on household aerosols. In a survey by Media General and the Associated Press, 150 of the 200 respondents indicated support for a ban on household aerosols. Test the claim, at the 1% significance level, that more than 70% of the population supportsthe ban on household aerosols.

Answer:

There is no statistical evidence to support  the claim, at the 1% significance level, that more than 70% of the population supportsthe ban on household aerosols

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.70\\H_a: p > 0.70[/tex]

(right tailed test for proportion at 1% significance level)

Sample proportion p= [tex]\frac{150}{200} =0.75[/tex]

p difference = -0.05

Std error for p = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{0.7*0.3}{200} } \\=0.0324[/tex]

Test statistic  z = p diff/std error

= -1.543

p value = 0.0614

since p >0.01 our alpha we accept H0

There is no statistical evidence to support  the claim, at the 1% significance level, that more than 70% of the population supportsthe ban on household aerosols
