However, Amnesty International reports that one third of the prisoners in Turgistan are political prisoners. A representative from your company visited a prison and sampled 500 prisoners in Turgistan, concluding that 90 of them are political prisoners. Test the hypothesis, at the 5% significance level, that one third of the prisoners in Turgistan are political prisoners. Required:
a. Does this data support the Minister of Commerce or Amnesty International?
b. What other issues might be important when evaluating this data?

a

International

b

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  sample size is  n  =  500

 The  number of political  prisoners is  k  =  90

  The  level of significance is  

        The null hypothesis  is  

        The alternative hypothesis is  

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

=>  

=>  

 Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

=>        

=>  

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

From the normally distribution table

    The  probability of

=>    

=>      

From the value obtained we see that the hence the decision rule is

  Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

  There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that  this data does support the Minister of Commerce or Amnesty International
