Mike runs for the president of the student government and is interested to know whether the proportion of the student body in favor of him is significantly more than 50 percent. A random sample of 100 students was taken. Fifty-five of them favored Mike. At a 0.05 level of significance, it can be concluded that the proportion of the students in favor of Mike:

a. is significantly greater than 50 percent because 55 percent of the sample favored him.
b. is not significantly greater than 50 percent.
c. is significantly greater than 55 percent.
d. is not significantly different from 55 percent.

We conclude that the proportion of student body in favor of him is significantly less than or equal to 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Mike runs for the president of the student government and is interested to know whether the proportion of the student body in favor of him is significantly more than 50 percent.

A random sample of 100 students was taken. Fifty-five of them favored Mike.

Let p = proportion of the students who are in favor of Mike.

So, Null Hypothesis, : p 50%      {means that the proportion of student body in favor of him is significantly less than or equal to 50%}

Alternate Hypothesis, : p > 50%      {means that the proportion of student body in favor of him is significantly more than 50%}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z proportion statistics;

                        T.S. =    ~ N(0,1)

where, = sample proportion of students body in favor of Mike = = 0.55

           n = sample of students taken = 100

So, test statistics  =  

                               =  1.01

The value of z test statistics is 1.01.

Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.645 for right-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of z as 1.01 < 1.645, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the proportion of student body in favor of him is significantly less than or equal to 50% or proportion of the students in favor of Mike is not significantly greater than 50 percent.

this is a very good question

step-by-step explanation:

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude
