It is believed that nearsightedness affects about 8% of all children. In a random sample of 194 children, 21 are nearsighted. (a) Construct hypotheses appropriate for the following question: do these data provide evidence that the 8% value is inaccurate? Ho: p = .08 Ha: p < .08 Ho: p = .08 Ha: p > .08 Ho: p = .08 Ha: p ? .08 (b) What proportion of children in this sample are nearsighted? (round to four decimal places) (c) Given that the standard error of the sample proportion is 0.0195 and the point estimate follows a nearly normal distribution, calculate the test statistic (use the Z-statistic). Z = (please round to two decimal places) (d) What is the p-value for this hypothesis test? p = (please round to four decimal places) (e) What is the conclusion of the hypothesis test? Since p ? ? we do not have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis Since p < ? we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative Since p < ? we fail to reject the null hypothesis Since p ? ? we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative Since p ? ? we accept the null hypothesis

It is believed that nearsightedness affects about 8% of all children. In a random sample of 194 children, 21 are nearsighted. (a) Construct hypotheses appropriate for the following question: do these data provide evidence that the 8% value is inaccurate? Ho: p = .08 Ha: p ≠.08 (b) What proportion of children in this sample are nearsighted? (round to four decimal places) (c) Given that the standard error of the sample proportion is 0.0195 and the point estimate follows a nearly normal distribution, calculate the test statistic (use the Z-statistic). (please round to two decimal places) (d) What is the p-value for this hypothesis test? (please round to four decimal places) (e) What is the conclusion of the hypothesis test? Since p < α we fail to reject the null hypothesis Since p ≥ α we accept the null hypothesis Since p ≥ α we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative Since p < α we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative Since p ≥ α we do not have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis
