Answer

a. $σ_p̂$=$\sqrt \frac{0.86*0.14}{600}$=0.0142 z= $\frac{0.86-0.82}{0.0142}$ =2.82 α = .02/2=0.01, critical value = 2.326 Rejection region = z< -2.326 or z >2.326 Non rejection region =-2.326 < z < 2.326 The value z = 2.82 falls at the rejection region, hence we reject the null hypothesis. b. The probability of making a Type I error : α = 0.02 c. By p value approach, If α = 0.025, p-value = P(Z>2.82) = 0.0024 < α The p-value =0.0024 is smaller than α , hence we reject the null hypothesis. If α = 0.01, p-value = P(Z>2.82) = 0.0024 < α The p-value =0.0024 is smaller than α , hence we reject the null hypothesis.
