The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that 9.9% of adults aged 20 to 24 years were unemployed in February 2015. Suppose that Jacqui believes that in her city the unemployment rate is higher than the reported proportion. She determines the unemployment status of 450450 randomly selected adults in the given age range. She decides to conduct a
Hypotheses are:
Standard deviation of the proportion is:
The critical value of z for which we will reject the null hypothesis is 1.645. The critical value of sample proportion for which we will reject the null hypothesis is
Standard deviation of the proportion for p= 0.110 is:
The z-score for and p = 0.110 is
The power of the test is
power = P(z > 0.82) = 1 - P(z <= 0.82) = 0.2061
