The International EQ Survey asked, “Indicate the importance of honesty in your life.” Of the people sampled in a country, Stata reports the following output for the proportion who answered “very important” or “rather important” (instead of “not very important” or “not at all important”).

-------------------------------

One-sample test of proportion:

Number of obs = 2000 Variable | Mean Std. Err.

Honesty | .35 .0099288 p = proportion(honesty)

z = -13.4164 Ho: p = 0.5 Ha: p < 0.5 Pr(Z < z) = 0.0000 Ha: p ! = 0.5 Pr(|Z| > |z|) = 0.0000 Ha: p > 0.5 Pr(Z > z) = 1.0000

(a) Explain how to interpret all results shown.

(b) By contrast, the results for Country B had a sample proportion of 0.88 who answered “very important” or

“rather important.” Here are the test results:

----------------------

Ha: p < 0.5 Pr(Z < z) = 1.0000 Ha: p != 0.5 Pr(|Z| > |z|) = 0.0000 Ha: p > 0.5 Pr(Z > z) = 0.0000
