Question

Using the information regarding proportion of snoring events, choose the correct conclusion for this hypothesis test. H0:p=0.35 ; Ha:p>0.35 The p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.03. The level of significance is α=0.05

Select the correct answer below:

a. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of snoring events compared to other events during a sleep study is more than 35%.
b. There is NOT sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of snoring events compared to other events during a sleep study is more than 35%.
c. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of snoring events compared to other events during a sleep study is more than 5%.
d. There is NOT sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of snoring events compared to other events during a sleep study is more than 5%.

Answer 1

Option A

Explanation:

With the following data, H0:p=0.35 ; Ha:p>0.35 The p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.03. The level of significance is α=0.05.

Since the p value (0.03) is less than alpha (0.05), we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of snoring events compared to other events during a sleep study is more than 35%.
