Conducting a Hypothesis Test Using Proportions
Note: a proportion is the same as the percentage of the population
Formula for the test value for proportions: ( X – µ ) ( X – np ) z = or σ √npq Where: µ = np σ = √(npq) q = 1 – p
Steps for Hypothesis Test For proportions State the null and alternative hypotheses (using p) 1) 2) Find the critical value(s) using z-table 3) Find the mean and standard deviation (Round to 2 decimals) 4) Compute the test value 5) Make the decision to either “reject the null” or “fail to reject the null”
