  1. Conducting a Hypothesis Test Using Proportions

  2. Note: a proportion is the same as the percentage of the population

  3. Formula for the z test for proportions: ( X – µ ) ( X – np ) z = or σ √npq Where: µ = np σ = √(npq) q = 1 – p

  4. Steps for Hypothesis Test State the null and alternative hypotheses (using p) 1) 2) Find the mean and standard deviation 3) Find the critical value(s) using z-table 4) Compute the test value (Round to 2 decimals) 5) Make the decision to either “reject the null” or “not reject the null”
