This is a right tailed test and test statistic = 2.62
Hence,
p - Value = P(z > 2.62) = 0.0044
Therefore,
We can conclude that the proportion is higher than 40% since p - Value < 0.05
Option B is correct.

The proportion of deaths due to lung cancer in males ages 15-64 in England and Wales during the period 1970- 1972 was 12%. Suppose that of 20 deaths that occur among male workers in this age group who have worked for at least 1 year in a chemical plant, 5 are due to lung cancer. We wish to determine whether there is a difference between the proportion of deaths from lung cancer in this plant and the proportion in the...

The data of a major referral hospital showed that most patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) were black American. Based on this, it was concluded that black Americans are at higher risk of IHD compared to other community groups. How would you describe the conclusion? A. Correct, because risk factors for IHD are more common in black African American. B. Incorrect, because no test of statistical significance has been made C. Incorrect, because prevalence is used instead of incidence D....

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of women over 40 who regularly have mammograms is significantly more than 0.2. You use a significance level of α = 0.05 . H 0 : p = 0.2 H 1 : p > 0.2 You obtain a sample of size n = 601 in which there are 143 successes. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to two decimal places.) test statistic = What is...

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly different from 0.17. You use a significance level of α=0.02. H0:p=0.17 H1:p≠0.17 You obtain a sample of size n=428 in which there are 56 successes. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal...

Question 40 (1 point) A medical website states that 40% of U.S. adults are registered organ donors. A researcher believes that the proportion is too high and wants to test to see if it is lower. She selects a random sample of 200 adults and finds that 74 of them are registered organ donors. Perform the hypothesis test at the 0.05 level. Compute the P-value and state a conclusion P-value=0.0193 P-value = 0.1932 There is enough evidence to conclude that...
