Question

Only 18% of registered voters voted in the last election. Will voter participation increase for the upcoming election? Of the 352 randomly selected registered voters surveyed, 77 of them will vote in the upcoming election. What can be concluded at the α= 0.05 level of significance?

1. For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for a population mean or z-test for a population proportion
2. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:   

H0:? μ p  Select an answer ≠ = > < ( ) (please enter a decimal)   

H1:? p μ  Select an answer < = ≠ > ( )  (Please enter a decimal)

3. The test statistic? z t  = ( ) (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
4. The p-value = ( ) (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
5. The p-value is ? > ≤ α
6. Based on this, we should Select an answer reject, accept, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
7. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
   • The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly higher than 18% at α =0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the percentage of registered voters who will vote in the upcoming election will be higher than 18%.
   • The data suggest the population proportion is significantly higher than 18% at α = 0.05, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the percentage of all registered voters who will vote in the upcoming election will be higher than 18%.
   • The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly higher than 18% at α=0.05, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the percentage of registered voters who will vote in the upcoming election will be equal to 18%.
