Hypothesis Testing on Vacation HO: p = 0.5 HA: p < 0.5 Analysis: x = 67 RV’s n = 857 vehicles z = -24.7 P-value = 0 Conclusion: There is strong evidence for p<0.5. Less than 50% people have RV’s! $ saved!
Follow Up Confidence Interval to find the true proportion of RV’s: p = ? Analysis: x = 67 RV’s n = 857 vehicles We want 95% confidence. Conclusion: We are 95% Confident that the true p = (0.078±0.018)! Only 6% to 9.6% people have RV’s! $ saved!
