Hippocrates magazine states that 37 percent of all americans take multiple vitamins regularly. suppose a researcher surveyed 750 people to test this claim and found that 266 did regularly take a multiple vitamin. is this sufficient evidence to conclude that the actual percentage is different from 37% at the 5% significance level? select the [p-value, decision to reject (rh0) or failure to reject (frh0)].

Failure to Reject (FRH0)

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people that regularly take a multiple vitamin it's not significantly different from 0.37 or 37% .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=750 represent the random sample taken

X=266 represent the people that regularly take a multiple vitamin

estimated proportion of people that regularly take a multiple vitamin

is the value that we want to test

represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the actual percentage is different from 37%.:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

(1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

4) 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 significance level provided . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people that regularly take a multiple vitamin it's not significantly different from 0.37 or 37% .
