8. suppose you are testing h0 : p = 0.4 versus h1 : p < 0.4. from your data, you calculate your test statistic as z = +1.7. (a) calculate the p-value for this scenario. (b) using a significance level of 0.06, what decision should you make?

(a) The p-value is 0.9554

(b) We cannot reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dealing with a lower-tail alternative . Because the test statistic is z = +1.7 which comes from a normal distribution, the p-value is the probability of getting a value as extreme as the already observed.  

(a) P(Z < +1.7) = 0.9554

(b) The p-value is very large, and 0.9554 > 0.06, so, we cannot reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 0.06
