Is the coin Fair? You suspect that you have a weighted coin. You flip the coin 220 times and find 124 heads. Is there enough statistical evidence to declare the coin unfair? One Proportion z – Test Let p = the true proportion of coin tosses landing on heads. Ho: p = 0.5 Ha: p ≠ 0.5 SRS – The data was collected randomly by a chance event 2. Appr. Normal: 220 (0.5)=110 ≥ 10 AND 220 (1 – (0.5))=110 ≥ 10 Since our p-value is greater than 0.05 we “FAIL to REJECT H0“. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude the coin is unfair.
p = The true proportion of Hispanics called for jury duty in the p = The true proportion of Hispanics called for jury duty in the county. H0 : p = 0.19 HA : p < 0.19
p = The true proportion of Hispanics called for jury duty One Proportion z – Test p = The true proportion of Hispanics called for jury duty in the county. H0 : p = 0.19 HA : p < 0.19 SRS: potential jurors are called randomly from all of the residents. Success/Failure condition: np= (72)(0.19) = 13.68 and n(1 – p) = (72)(0.81) = 58.32 are both > 10, so the sample is large enough. Since the P-value = 0.0793 is high p>0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is NO convincing evidence that Hispanics are underrepresented in the jury selection system.
WHAT PERCENT OF THE EARTH IS COVERED WITH WATER?
One Proportion Significance Test Is there evidence that the proportion of the earth that is covered with water is different than 0.78 p = The true proportion of earth’s surface that is covered with water. One Proportion z – Test H0: p = 0.78 Ha: p ≠ 0.78 SRS – The data was collected randomly Population of potential volleys is ≥ 10 · n n · (0.78) ≥ 10 AND n · (1 – (0.78)) ≥ 10 Since the P-Value is NOT less than 0.05 , we fail to REJECT H0 There is no evidence to support that the prop. of Earth’s water is NOT 78% Since the P-Value is less than 0.05 There is strong evidence to REJECT H0 . The claim that exactly 0.78 of the Earth is covered by water is not supported.
H0 : p = 0.40 (p=The proportion of female executives.) HA : p < 0.40
H0 : p = 0.40 (The proportion of female executives.) HA : p < 0.40 One Proportion z – Test Randomization condition: Executives were not chosen randomly, 10% condition: Population of employees at the company > 10(43) Success/Failure condition: np= (43)(0.40) = 17.2 and n(1 – p) = (43)(0.60) = 25.8 are both >10, so the sample is large enough. The conditions have not all been satisfied, so a Normal model may or may not be valid, so we continue with Caution.
Since the P-value = 0. 0955 is high (p>0 Since the P-value = 0.0955 is high (p>0.05), we fail to reject the H0. There is little evidence to suggest proportion of female executives is any different from the overall proportion of 40% female employees at the company.

WARM – UP An insurance company checks police records on 582 accidents selected at random. Teenagers were involved in 91 of them. a.) Find the 95% Confidence Interval for the true % of accidents that involve teens. (Follow all steps) b.) A Politician interested in raising the drivers licenses age claims that one out of every five (p = .20) auto accidents is due to teenagers. Is there supporting evidence that the proportion is different than this?

SRS – Stated 2. Population of National Auto Accidents ≥ 10(582) 3. 582(.2) ≥ 10 582(1 - .2) ≥ 10 Since the P-Value is less than α = 0.05 the data IS significant . There is strong evidence to REJECT H0 . The Politician is wrong.
