Question

Suppose you wanted to test the claim that the proportion of M&Ms that are brown is greaterthan 13% at the a = 0.08 significance level. Find the appropriate critical values

Answer 1

Given the significant level of 0.08

That is

`\alpha=0.08`

The P-value is

`P=1-(\alpha)/(2)`
`\begin{gathered} P=1-(0.08)/(2) \\ P=1-0.04=0.96 \end{gathered}`

Hence,the critical value for 0.96 or 96% P-value is 2.05
