Question

given h0: p = 0.18 and p value = 0.085, do you reject or fail to reject h0 at the 0.05 level of significance?

a. do not reject h0
b. reject h0
c. there is not sufficient information to decide.

Answer 1

Solution :

This is the two tailed test .

The null and alternative hypothesis is

H0 : p =0.18

Ha : p $\neq$ 0.18

P-value = 0.085

$\alpha$ = 0.05

P-value > $\alpha$

0085 > 0.05

Do not reject the null hypothesis .
