Question:

A random sample of 100 likely voters in a small city produced 59 voters in favor of Candidate A. The observed value of the test statistic for testing the null hypothesis H0 : p = 0.5 versus the alternative hypothesis Ha : p > 0.5 is

(a) z =

0.59 − 0.5

Å

0.59(0.41)

100

(d) z =

0.5 − 0.59

Å

0.5(0.5)

100

(b) z =

0.59 − 0.5

Å

0.5(0.5)

100

(e) t =

0.59 − 0.5

Å

0.5(0.5)

100

(c) z =

0.5 − 0.59

Å

0.59(0.41)

100
