Gwe found that 15 customers from a random sample of 60 would be willing to buy a software upgrade that costs 100. if the upgrade is to be profitable you will need to sell it to more than 20% of your customers. do the sample data give good evidence that more than 20% are willing to buy

$z=\frac{0.25 -0.2}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{100}}}=1.25$

p_v =P(Z1.25)=0.106

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and then we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion is higher than 0.2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=60 represent the random sample taken

X=15 represent the customers who would be willing to buy a software upgrade that costs 100

$\hat p=\frac{15}{60}=0.25$ estimated proportion of customers who would be willing to buy a software upgrade that costs 100

p_o=0.2 is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v 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 proportions is higher than 20%:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.2$

Alternative hypothesis: p 0.2

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

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

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

3) Calculate the statistic

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

$z=\frac{0.25 -0.2}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{100}}}=1.25$

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 next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(Z1.25)=0.106

Martha has a deck of cards. she has lost some of the cards, and now the deck only contains nine spades, eleven diamonds, eight clubs, and twelve hearts. martha predicts that whenever she draws a card from the deck without looking, she will draw a club one-fifth of the time. which activity would best allow martha to test her prediction? a. randomly draw a card from the box and see if it is a club. b. randomly draw a card. then, continue to draw another card until all eight clubs are drawn. c. randomly draw and replace a card 120 times. then, observe how close to 30 times a club is drawn. d. randomly draw and replace a card 100 times. then, observe how close to 20 times a club is drawn.
