Question
In a study of pregnant women and their ability to correctly predict the sex of their baby, 59 of the pregnant women had 12 years of education or less, and 39% of these women correctly predicted the sex of their baby. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that these women have an ability to predict the sex of their baby equivalent to random guesses. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, and conclusion about the null hypothesis. Use the P-value method. Use the normal distribution as an approximation of the binomial distribution. Do the results suggest that their percentage of correct predictions is different from results expected with random guesses? The test statistic is z =, P-value=
Explanation / Answer
The statistical software output for this problem is:
One sample proportion summary hypothesis test:
p : Proportion of successes
H0 : p = 0.5
HA : p ? 0.5
Hypothesis test results:
Hence,
z = -1.6899
P-value = 0.0911
