Question

In a study of

807807

randomly selected medical malpractice​ lawsuits, it was found that

487487

of them were dropped or dismissed. Use a

0.010.01

significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.

Which of the following is the hypothesis test to be​ conducted?

A.

Upper H 0 : p not equals 0.5H0: p≠0.5

Upper H 1 : p equals 0.5H1: p=0.5

B.

Upper H 0 : p greater than 0.5H0: p>0.5

Upper H 1 : p equals 0.5H1: p=0.5

C.

Upper H 0 : p equals 0.5H0: p=0.5

Upper H 1 : p greater than 0.5H1: p>0.5

D.

Upper H 0 : p equals 0.5H0: p=0.5

Upper H 1 : p not equals 0.5H1: p≠0.5

E.

Upper H 0 : p less than 0.5H0: p<0.5

Upper H 1 : p equals 0.5H1: p=0.5

F.

Upper H 0 : p equals 0.5H0: p=0.5

Upper H 1 : p less than 0.5H1: p<0.5

What is the test​ statistic?

zequals=nothing

​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

What is the​ P-value?

​P-valueequals=nothing

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

What is the conclusion about the null​ hypothesis?

A.

RejectReject

the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is

greater thangreater than

the significance​ level,

alphaα.

B.

RejectReject

the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is

less than or equal toless than or equal to

the significance​ level,

alphaα.

C.

Fail to rejectFail to reject

the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is

greater thangreater than

the significance​ level,

alphaα.

D.

Fail to rejectFail to reject

the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is

less than or equal toless than or equal to

the significance​ level,

alphaα.

What is the final​ conclusion?

A.There

is notis not

sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.

B.There

isis
