Question
A police officer claims that the proportion of drivers wearing seat belts is more than 55%. To test this claim, a random sample of drivers are checked for seat belt usage.
Assume that the test statistic for this hypothesis test is 1.87.
Assume the critical value for this hypothesis test is 1.645.
Come to a decision for the hypothesis test and interpret your results with respect to the original claim.
Question
An aspiring venture capitalist is interested in studying early-stage companies. She claims that the proportion of new businesses that earn a profit within the first two years of operation is more than 18%. If the venture capitalist chooses a 10% significance level, what is/are the critical value(s) for the hypothesis test?
