Define the null and alternative hypotheses in mathematical terms as well as in words.

Hypothesis statements in words

Null hypothesis:

The proportion of ball bearings with diameter values less than 2.20 cm in the existing

manufacturing process is the same as the proportion in the new process

Alternative hypothesis:

The proportion of ball bearings with diameter values less than 2.20 cm in the existing

manufacturing process is different from the proportion in the new process

Hypothesis statements mathematically

Null hypothesis:

H0:p1=p2

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:p1̸=p2

Identify the level of significance.

= 0.05

Include the test statistic and the P-value. See Step 2 in the Python script. (Note that Python

methods return two tailed P-values. You must report the correct P value based on the alternative

hypothesis.)

test-statistic = 2.06

two tailed p-value = 0.0394

Provide a conclusion and interpretation of the test: Should the null hypothesis be rejected? Why

or why not?

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is less than 0.05.

Interpretation

There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that that the proportion of ball bearings with

diameter values less than 2.20 cm in the existing manufacturing process is the same as the

proportion in the new process.

Identify the level of significance.

Significance level = alpha = 0.05

Include the test statistic and the P-value. See Step 2 in the Python script. (Note that Python

methods return two tailed P-values. You must report the correct P value based on the alternative

hypothesis.)

test-statistic = 2.06

two tailed p-value = 0.0394

Provide a conclusion and interpretation of the test: Should the null hypothesis be rejected? Why

or why not?

The null hypothesis is rejected when the p-value < the significance level,

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is less than 0.05.

Interpretation
