Question

Nearsightedness: It is believed that nearsightedness affects about 8% of all children. In a random sample of 194 children, 21 are nearsighted.

(a) What proportion of children in this sample are nearsighted?
(b) Construct hypotheses appropriate for the following question: do these data provide evidence that the 8% value is inaccurate?
(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 (the Z statistic).
(d) What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?
(e) What is the conclusion of the hypothesis test?

Answer 1

a)the proportion of student is 0.1082

b)

H1: p = .08

H2: p not equal to 0.08

H1: p =0 .08

H2: p < .08

H1: p =0 .08

H2: p >0 .08

c)z=1.45

d) the p value is 0.1470

e)null hypothesis cannot be accepted,There is no enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
