Hypothetical Testing
Standard Conclusion Statment for Hypothesis Testing
- There is sufficient/insufficient evidence to reject H\(_{0}\) and conclude that.....
In the UK, 5% of students turn up to school late. Mr McCarty wishes to determine, to a 10% significence level, if Richard Hale has a problem with attendance. \(\frac{6}{40}\) students who pass him one day are late.
Suitable test statistic:
H\(_{0}\) P=0.05
H\(_{1}>0.05\)
\(P(N\geq n)=1-P(N\leq4)=0.048\)
Therefore there is sufficient evidence to reject H\(_{0}\) and conclude that there is a problem with attendance at Richard Hale.
