The proportion of baby boys born in the United States has historically been 0.508. You choose an SRS of 50 newborn babies and find that 45% are boys. Do ALL calculations to 5 decimal places before rounding.

Answer from: penelopegrace04

$z=\frac{0.45 -0.508}{\sqrt{\frac{0.508(1-0.508)}{50}}}=-0.82$

p_v =P(z

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of newborn boys babies is not significantly lower than 0.508

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=50 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.45$ estimated proportion of newborn boys babies

p_o=0.508 is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95 (asumed)

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We assume that we want to check if the true proportion is less than 0.508.

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.508$

Alternative hypothesis: p < 0.508

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.45 -0.508}{\sqrt{\frac{0.508(1-0.508)}{50}}}=-0.82$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level assumed is $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(z
