Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11 p.m. newscast reaches 41% of the viewing audience in the area. In a survey of 100 viewers, 36% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station. What is the z test statistic?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

[tex]z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{100}}}=-1.017[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

[tex]\hat p=0.36[/tex] estimated proportion with the survey

[tex]p_o=0.41[/tex] is the value that we want to test

[tex]\alpha[/tex] represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

[tex]p_v[/tex] 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 lower than 0.41.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.41[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.41[/tex]  

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

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

[tex]z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{100}}}=-1.017[/tex]  

Answer:

z test statistic is -1.042 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11 p.m. newscast reaches 41% of the viewing audience in the area. In a survey of 100 viewers, 36% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station.

Let Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p = 0.41 {means that % of the viewing audience in the area is 41%}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_1[/tex] : p [tex]\neq[/tex] 0.41 {means that % of the viewing audience in the area is different from 41%}

The z-test statistics we will use here is One sample proportion test ;

          T.S. = [tex]\frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, p = % of the viewing audience based on the Nielsen ratings = 41%

       [tex]\hat p[/tex]  = % of the viewing audience based on a survey of 100 viewers = 36%

       n = sample of viewers = 100

So, test statistics = [tex]\frac{0.36 - 0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.36(1-0.36)}{100} } }[/tex]

                             = -1.042

Therefore, the z test statistic is -1.042 .
