You obtain a sample of sizen

=

709

n=709

in which there are 446 successes.

What is the test statistic for this sample?

test statistic =(Report answer accurate to 3 decimal places.)

What is the p-value for this sample?

p-value =(Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.)

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 proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is different from 0.6.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is different from 0.6.
  • The sample data support the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is different from 0.6.
  • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is different from 0.6.
