Question
Determine which given value seems the most reasonable for the given situation. Explain why the other given values do not make sense in that situation.$P$ is the population of Kentucky in thousands of people.a. $P=3.5$b. $P=4200$c. $P=-210$
Step 1
This means that the value of $P$ should be a positive number because population cannot be negative. Show more…

Consider the following hypothesis test: \[ \begin{array}{l} H_{0}: p \geq .75 \\ H_{\mathrm{a}}: p<.75 \end{array} \] A sample of 300 items was selected. Compute the $p$ -value and state your conclusion for each of the following sample results. Use $a=.05$ a. $\bar{p}=.68$ b. $\quad \bar{p}=.72$ c. $\quad \bar{p}=.70$ d. $\bar{p}=.77$
Test the following hypoheses by using the $\chi^{2}$ goodness of fit test. $$ H_{0} : p_{A}=.40, p_{\mathrm{B}}=.40, \text { and } p_{\mathrm{C}}=.20 $$ $$ \begin{array}{c}{H_{\mathrm{a}} : \text { The population proportions are not }} \\ {p_{A}=.40, p_{\mathrm{B}}=.40, \text { and } p_{\mathrm{C}}=.20}\end{array} $$ A sample of size 200 yielded 60 in category $\mathrm{A}, 120$ in category $\mathrm{B},$ and 20 in category $\mathrm{C}$ . a. Use the $p$ -value approach. b. Repeat the test using the critical value approach.
