鈥淪treaming鈥 of television programs is trending upward. According to The Harris Poll (August 26, 2013), over one-third of American鈥檚 qualify as 鈥渟ubscription streamers,鈥 i.e., those who watch streamed TV programs through a subscription service such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, or Amazon Prime. The poll included 2,242 adult TV viewers, of which 785 are subscription streamers. On the basis of this result, can you conclude that the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of =.10. Be sure to give the null and alternative hypotheses tested, test statistic value, rejection region or p-value, and conclusion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

At a 10% significance level, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

As per the Harris Poll, out of 2242 adult TV viewers surveyed, 785 are subscription streamers.

That is

The size of the samplen=2242

The sample proportion is

p^=7852242=0.350

02

Setting up the hypotheses

We have to test whether the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third.

As per the scenario, the null and alternative hypothesis is

H0:p=13=0.3333

That is, the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers does not differ from one-third.

And

Ha:p13

That is, the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third.

03

 Step 3: Calculating test statistic value

The test statistic for testing these hypotheses is given as

Z=p^-pp1-pn=0.350-0.33330.33331-0.33332242=0.01670.000099113=1.68

04

Calculating the p-value

We have Z=1.68, and the test is two-tailed (as an alternative hypothesis is two-tailed)

Therefore p-value in this scenario is

localid="1668671294086" p-value=2PZ>Z0=2PZ>1.68=20.0465.....usingstandardnormaltable=0.0930

05

Conclusion using p-value

We can see that

p-value=0.0930<0.10

That is, the obtained p-value is less than the significance level.

Hence, we reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

At a 10% significance level, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third.

Americans鈥 favorite sport. The Harris Poll (December 2013) conducted an online survey of American adults to determine their favorite sport. Your friend believes professional (National Football League [NFL]) football鈥攚ith revenue of about $13 billion per year鈥攊s the favorite sport for 40% of American adults. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for testing this belief. Be sure to identify the parameter of interest.

Which element of a test of hypothesis is used to decide whether to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis?

A random sample of n observations is selected from a normal population to test the null hypothesis that 碌=10.Specify the rejection region for each of the following combinations of \(Ha,\alpha ,\) and n:

a.\(Ha:\)碌\( \ne 10;\alpha = .05.;n = 14\)

b.\(Ha:\)碌\( > 10;\alpha = .01;n = 24\)\(\)

c.\(Ha:\)碌\( > 10;\alpha = .10;n = 9\)

d.\(Ha:\)碌 <\(10:\alpha = .01;n = 12\)

e.\(Ha:\)碌\( \ne 10;\alpha = .10;n = 20\)

f. \(Ha:\)碌<\(10;\alpha = .05;n = 4\)

Refer to Exercise 6.44 (p. 356), in which 50 consumers taste-tested a new snack food. Their responses (where 0 = do not like; 1 = like; 2 = indifferent) are reproduced below
