Ha: p = 0.16
Ho: p = 0.16
Ha: p =/= 0.16

A Gallup poll report revealed that 72% of teens said they rarely or never argue with their friends. Yvonne wonders if this result is true for her school. She surveys a random sample of 150 students and 64% of them say they rarely or never argue with friends. She uses the data to perform a test of Ho: p = 0.72 versus Ha: p=/= 0.72.
The test yields a p-value of 0.0291. What conclusion would you make for a significance level of 5%?
Since our p-value of 0.0291 is more than 5%. we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of teens in her school who rarely or never argue with their friends is different from 0.72.
Since our p-value of 0.0291 is less than 5%. we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of teens in her school who rarely or never argue with their friends is different from 0.72.
Since our p-value of 0.0291 is more than 5%. we reject the null hypothesis. We have convincing evidence that the proportion of teens in her school who rarely or never argue with their friends is different from 0.72.
