How do I use a Z-Test or a Chi-square Test in the following study question. A survey of 1,233 visitors to a country last year revealed that 110 visited a small cafe. It is claimed that 10% of visitors to this country will include a visit to a cafe. Using a 0.05 significance level, test the claim. |

You can do it using a Z-test. H0 (null hypothesis): pi=.10 (The percentage of visitors the visit cafes is actually 10%) H1: pi != .10 As you stated in your question, a=.05 The test proportion here is p=110/1223=.08994 Your test-statistic should be of the formula z=(p-pi)/sqrt( (pi*(1-pi))/N) Filling in the data gives: .08994-.10 ----------- root( .1*.9/1223) Therefore, the test statistic is 1.0484 Since 1.0484 is less than 1.96 (from a=.05) the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, and the claim appears to be valid. Hope this helps! |

Oops, I mistyped that on my calculator. The actual test statistic should be -1.1727, but this is still between -1.96 and 1.96, so the null hypothesis is not rejected. |

Thank you very much. This helped tremendously. Now that I know how to apply the Z-Test, I can further gain impact from the study questions. |
