Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{0.333 -0.25}{\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{120}}}=2.10[/tex]
[tex]p_v =P(z>2.10)=0.018[/tex]
At 5% of significance we can conclude that the true proportion of strawberries damage is higher than 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
n=120 represent the random sample taken
X=40 represent the number of strawberries damaged
[tex]\hat p=\frac{40}{120}=0.333[/tex] estimated proportion of strawberries damaged
[tex]p_o=0.25[/tex] is the value that we want to test
[tex]\alpha[/tex] represent the significance level
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value (variable of interest)
Concepts and formulas to use
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that no more than 25% of his total harvest of strawberries was damaged.:
Null hypothesis:[tex]p\leq 0.25[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p > 0.25[/tex]
When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)
The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion [tex]\hat p[/tex] is significantly different from a hypothesized value [tex]p_o[/tex].
Calculate the statistic
Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:
[tex]z=\frac{0.333 -0.25}{\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{120}}}=2.10[/tex]
Statistical decision
It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.
The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.
Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =P(z>2.10)=0.018[/tex]
At 5% of significance we can conclude that the true proportion of strawberries damage is higher than 0.25
