You are conducting a study to see if the probability of catching the flu this year is significantly less than 0.24. You use a significance level of =0.10=0.10. H0:p=0.24H0:p=0.24 H1:p<0.24H1:p<0.24 You obtain a sample of size n=721n=721 in which there are 149 successes. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value = The p-value is...

  • less than (or equal to)
  • greater than

This test statistic leads to a decision to...

  • reject the null
  • accept the null
  • fail to reject the null

As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the probability of catching the flu this year is less than 0.24.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the probability of catching the flu this year is less than 0.24.
  • The sample data support the claim that the probability of catching the flu this year is less than 0.24.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the probability of catching the flu this year is less than 0.24.
