A survey shows that 10% of the population is victimized by property crime each year. A random sample of 527 older citizens (65 years or more of age) shows a victimization rate of 12.35%. Are older people more likely to be victimized

We conclude that older people are more likely to be victimized.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey shows that 10% of the population is victimized by property crime each year.

A random sample of 527 older citizens (65 years or more of age) shows a victimization rate of 12.35%

Let p = population proportion of people who are victimized.

So, Null Hypothesis, : 10%      {means that older people are less likely to be victimized or remains same}

Alternate Hypothesis, : p > 10%      {means that older people are more likely to be victimized}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z-test for proportions;

                             T.S. =    ~  N(0,1)

where, = sample proportion of older people who are victimized = 12.35%

            n = sample of older citizens = 527

So, the test statistics  =    

                                       =  1.798

The value of z-test statistics is 1.798.

Since in the question, we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now at 5% level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for right-tailed test.

Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 1.798 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that older people are more likely to be victimized.
