Hypothesis Test for a Population Proportion
Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.
A sample of 50 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 21 went up.
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly more than 0.3. You use a significance level of α=0.10α0.10.
What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
z =
What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
P-value =
The p-value is...
- less than (or equal to) αα
- greater than αα
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
- reject the null hypothesis
- accept the null hypothesis
- fail to reject the null hypothesis
As such, the final conclusion is that...
- There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is more than 0.3.
- There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is more than 0.3.
- The sample data support the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is more than 0.3.
- There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of stocks that went up is is more than 0.3.

How does growth in the 1970s compare to growth in the later
: Using the real GDP numbers for 1959 and 1969, calculate the decadal growth rate of real GDP for the 1960s. Do the same for the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and the 2000s and for the available years of the most recent decade.
