8.7 Writing conclusions
University A advertises that \(40\)% of its students are using AI daily. To assess the claim, the student union takes a sample of \(78\) students, and finds \(29\) are using AI daily. Using software, the \(z\)-score was \(z = -0.515\).
Each of these alternative hypotheses is incorrect. Explain the main reason why. Then, write the correct alternative hypothesis.
- \(H_1\): The proportion of students using AI daily is significantly lower than \(0.40\).
- \(H_1 \ne 0.40\).
- \(H_1\): \(p < 0.40\), where \(p\) is the population proportion of students using AI daily.
- \(H_1\): The number of students using AI daily is not equal to the university's claim.
Estimate the \(P\)-value.
Each of these conclusions are incorrect. Explain the main reason why. Then, write the correct conclusion.
- There is strong evidence that the proportion of students using AI daily is \(0.40\).
- There is no evidence of a large difference between the population proportion of students using AI daily and the claimed proportion.
- The sample proportion is \(0.40\).
University B makes the same claim. To assess the claim, the student union takes a sample of \(66\) students and finds \(35\) are using AI daily. Using software, the \(z\)-score was \(z = 2.12\).
Estimate the \(P\)-value.
Each of these conclusions are incorrect. Explain the main reason why. Then, write the correct conclusion.
- There is evidence of a significant difference between the population proportion of students using AI daily and the claim.
- There is no evidence that the claimed proportion is \(0.40\).
- The claimed proportion is not \(0.40\).
