1 Hypothesis Tests for Proportions
The null and alternative hypotheses are stated in terms of  and the sample values become p. The null hypothesis should include an equality. The significance level determines the size of the rejection region. The test can be one- or two-tailed depending on the situation being addressed.

2 Hypothesis Tests for Proportions
z TEST STATISTIC FOR PROPORTIONS where: p = Sample proportion  = Hypothesized population proportion n = Sample size

3 Hypothesis Tests for Proportions (Example 8-13)
HA :  > 0.01  = 0.02  = 0.02 p = 9/600 = 0.015 z = 1.25 za = z.02 = 2.05 Since z < z.02 or 1.35 < 2.05, do not reject H0
