  1. 0:00hi I'm JD and we're going to be doing
  2. 0:03today is a hypothesis test for portion
  3. 0:06when we read the problem first it has
  4. 0:09been found that forty eight point seven
  5. 0:12percent of US households have
  6. 0:16investments a random sample of four
  7. 0:20hundred heads of households indicated
  8. 0:23that 223 have events investments of some
  9. 0:27sorts at alpha at the outlet equaling
  10. 0:330.02 does this suggests that there is a
  11. 0:37difference from what was found before so
  12. 0:44if you would pause the video and see if
  13. 0:47you can try this one on your own all
  14. 0:52right step number one here someone is
  15. 0:57you want to list out the hypotheses your
  16. 1:01null and your alternative your null
  17. 1:05doesn't have equals in it you're sorry
  18. 1:09you're no less equals in it your
  19. 1:11alternative never has equals in it so
  20. 1:14look at your conclusion or what you're
  21. 1:16trying to prove does this suggest that
  22. 1:19there is a difference well when it says
  23. 1:22that is there a difference it doesn't
  24. 1:26matter if it's increase or decrease just
  25. 1:30that it's one or the other it could be
  26. 1:34either/or
  27. 1:36so the proportion is not equal to what
  28. 1:42was found before is the 48.7% let's
  29. 1:46convert that to decimal so it would be
  30. 1:48zero point four eight seven and this
  31. 1:56would be your claim now your null is
  32. 2:02gonna be the opposite so it's going to
  33. 2:05be P equals the proportion of the
  34. 2:08population equals zero points or eight
  35. 2:12seven
  36. 2:14step number two is you want to find your
  37. 2:17critical values now since it's not equal
  38. 2:21to it's going to be a two-tailed test so
  39. 2:26it's going to be left
  40. 2:30and rights and then this equals half of
  41. 2:34the Alpha so this is 0.01 and then this
  42. 2:40is 0.01 as well so you need to find
  43. 2:44these critical values do that you need
  44. 2:48your chart for your z-scores now I need
  45. 2:54to find something that's close to this
  46. 2:57notice the picture on the bottom has
  47. 2:59this so I'm going to look for something
  48. 3:02that's close to point nine nine right
  49. 3:07because this right here is point zero
  50. 3:10one and so the leftovers would be 0.99
  51. 3:16you want something close to that which
  52. 3:19looks like two point three three is
  53. 3:22close to that 233 notice what this is
  54. 3:29saying this is the ones and this is the
  55. 3:33ones in a tense place in this column and
  56. 3:36on top it's a hundreds place so
  57. 3:39basically what you do is you see where
  58. 3:41the two line up right find your value
  59. 3:45first which is 0.99 zero one and look to
  60. 3:50see where those line up the row is 2.3
  61. 3:56and the column is point zero three okay
  62. 3:59so that's hey come up with two point
  63. 4:01three three now on this side since this
  64. 4:07is a bell-shaped curve and the you know
  65. 4:11the you know is normal distribution so
  66. 4:14it's symmetrical so this would be zero
  67. 4:18and then the other side would be
  68. 4:20negative 2.33 right next you want to
  69. 4:26calculate your test statistic
  70. 4:34now here's the formula Z equals P hat
  71. 4:39minus P over the square root of P Q over
  72. 4:46N now what's P what's P hat well P hat
  73. 4:54is the rapport ssin of your I'm gonna
  74. 4:59put all the variables and stuff up here
  75. 5:03P hat is the proportion of the sample
  76. 5:08which would be 223 over 400 now I'm
  77. 5:17going to round this to three decimal
  78. 5:19places
  79. 5:20so be 223 divided by 400 which is 0.5
  80. 5:33ates on my calculator I got zero point
  81. 5:36five five seven five now P is the
  82. 5:47proportion of success for what we're
  83. 5:51looking at which would be the forty
  84. 5:54eight point seven percent so that would
  85. 5:56be zero points for eight seven Q is 1
  86. 6:04minus F it's the proportion of failure
  87. 6:11so that would be one minus zero points
  88. 6:15for eight seven which is 0.53 and then
  89. 6:25my n would be the sample size which here
  90. 6:29is 400 all right so I'm just going to
  91. 6:33plug all those in so zero points five
  92. 6:36five eight minus zero point four eight
  93. 6:41seven over the square root of P times Q
  94. 6:49zero point four eight seven times zero
  95. 6:54point five one three over 400 and before
  96. 7:03we move on just to let you know that in
  97. 7:06order to use z-scores for a binomial
  98. 7:11distribution you have to make sure that
  99. 7:14n times P and n times Q are both greater
  100. 7:19than five and here it should be obvious
  101. 7:22that they are right because I have a
  102. 7:26sample of 400
  103. 7:31and you know you have such as so anyways
  104. 7:36you want to plug this all it's your
  105. 7:39calculator and again I'm gonna do two
  106. 7:42decimal places just like right here I'm
  107. 7:45going to put the whole numerator in
  108. 7:48parenthesis so parenthesis
  109. 7:51zero points five five eight minus zero
  110. 7:55point four eight seven close parenthesis
  111. 7:59divided by it's the square root now the
  112. 8:03square root acts like a grouping symbols
  113. 8:06so just groups all those together so two
  114. 8:09square roots and so don't need
  115. 8:11parentheses around the denominator so
  116. 8:15zero points
  117. 8:18for eight seven times zero point five
  118. 8:24one three divided by four hundred
  119. 8:28clothes for the skirt and they get two
  120. 8:34point eight four
  121. 8:402.84 falls right there falls in the
  122. 8:47rejection region so step number four is
  123. 8:52I'm going to reject the null hypothesis
  124. 9:00set number five I'm rejecting the null
  125. 9:05hypothesis that means I am accepting the
  126. 9:08claim so there is enough
  127. 9:19evidence
  128. 9:23two supports
  129. 9:29the claim
  130. 9:35that's
  131. 9:38there is
  132. 9:42a difference
  133. 9:52and that's it
