. Suppose you wish to find out the answer to the questions "Do Americans prefer Coke or Pepsi?" You conduct a blind taste test in which individuals are randomly asked to drink one of the colas first, followed by the other cola, and then asked to disclose which drink they prefer. Results of your taste test indicate that 53 of 100 individuals prefer Pepsi. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if more than 50% of people prefer Pepsi to coca cola. Use the = 0.05 level of significance.

$z=\frac{0.53 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{100}}}=0.6$

p_v =P(z0.6)=0.274

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 reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people who prefer Pepsi is not higher than 0.5 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=53 represent the people who prefer Pepsi

$\hat p=\frac{53}{100}=0.53$ estimated proportion of people who prefer PEsi

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is higher than 0.5.:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: p 0.5

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, 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:

$z=\frac{0.53 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{100}}}=0.6$

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 provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

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

p_v =P(z0.6)=0.274
