Answer:
The value of z test statistic is 2.871.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a software firm survey of 564 randomly selected adults showed that 56% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Find the value of the test statistic.
Let p = population proportion of adults who would erase all of their personal information online if they could.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p [tex]\leq[/tex] 50% {means that adults who would erase all of their personal information online if they could is less than or equal to 50%}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : p > 50% {means that majority of adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could}
The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z test for proportions;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} {} }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of adults who would erase all of their personal information online if they could = 56%
n = sample of adults taken = 564
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{0.56-0.50}{\sqrt\frac{0.56(1-0.56)}{564} {} }[/tex]
= 2.871
The value of z test statistic is 2.871.
