A hypothesis test is conducted with a significance level of 10%. The alternative hypothesis states that more than 15% of a population has at least one sibling. The p-value for the test is calculated to be 0.27. Which statement is correct?

A. We can conclude that more than 27% of the population has at least one sibling.

B. We can conclude that exactly 27% of the population has at least one sibling.

C. We can conclude that more than 15% of the population has at least one sibling.

D. We cannot conclude that more than 15% of the population has at least one sibling.

E. There is not enough information given to make a conclusion.

D. We cannot conclude that more than 15% of the population has at least one sibling.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n represent the random sample taken

X represent the number of people who has at least one sibling

estimated proportion of people who has at least one sibling

is the value that we want to test

represent the significance level

Confidence=90% or 0.90

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of people who has at least one sibling is more than 0.15:  

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 .

Calculate the statistic  

Let's assume that the calculated value for this case is

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 right tailed 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 10% of significance the proportion of people who has at least one sibling is not significanlty higher than 0.15.

So then the best answer for this case would be:

D. We cannot conclude that more than 15% of the population has at least one sibling.

30 units^2

step-by-step explanation:

area is l × w

the length is 3

and the width is 10

3 × 10= 30 units squared

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
