During a recent election, a clerk was responsible for the
placement of candidate’s names on election ballots for a particular
voting precinct. Party A candidates were selected for the first
position in 24 of 32 ballots. Because the clerk was supposed to use
a method of random selection, Party B claimed that instead of using
randomness, the clerk used a method favoring Party A. Use a 0.05
significance level to test the claim that the method favored Party
A. [Note: Favored means a proportion greater than 50%.]
a. Clearly
identify and state the null hypothesis H0
and the alternative hypothesis H1.
b. Determine the critical
value(s) and the value of the appropriate test
statistic (to nearest 0.001).
c. Do you reject or fail
to reject the null hypothesis? Justify your answer.
d. Using
Figure 8-5 on p. 366, clearly state your final
conclusion.
