An animal rights organization wants to estimate the prevalence of eating disorders among puppies rescued by animal
Question:
An animal rights organization wants to estimate the prevalence of eating disorders among puppies rescued by animal shelters in the city of Seattle. The organization collected data to test if the prevalence of eating disorders among puppies rescued recently is greater than 30%. Specifically, a random sample was selected from all puppies (under the age of 1) who were rescued between March 1- April 15th 2022 among all Seattle animal shelters. The proportion of puppies in this sample who experienced eating disorders (as indicated by salvaging food rather than consuming it) was estimated.
- Let the significance level of the test be alpha = 0.05. Suppose we find the estimated prevalence based on the sample data to be 0.32 and we run a statistical test and find the p-value to be 0.15. What is our conclusion?
