 What is population proportion?
 A population proportion is
a fraction of the
population that has a certain
characteristic. 

 A population proportion
generally denoted as P – is a
parameter that describes a
percentage value associated
with a population.
The formula for population proportion is given by:

• p = population proportion 𝑛
• n = sample size
• q = 1-p
• X = part of the sample
• N = total number of sample
The following steps when testing hypothesis
concerning a proportion:

 Step 1 : State the null and alternative hypothesis

 Step 2: Choose a level of significance and critical values.
 Step 3: Compute for the test – statistics
 Step 4: Decision
 Step 5: Conclusion

 Example 1:
The players believes the chance of winning in a game is greater than 65%. In a random sample
of 150 games , The players won 118 times. Is there enough evidence to suggest that the players
are cheaters? Use the 0.01 level of significance.

Step 1 : State the null and alternative hypothesis Step 4: Decision

 Example 2: The NCHS claims that in 2002, 75% of children aged 2 to 17 saw a dentist in the past year. An
investigator wants to assess whether use of dental services is similar in children living in the city of Boston.
A sample of 125 children aged 2 to 17 living in Boston are surveyed and 64 reported seeing a dentist over
the past 12 months. Is there a significant difference in use of dental services between children living in
Boston and the national data? Use a level of significance of 0.05.

 Example 3:
A research is conducted on a certain company believes last year showed that is less than or equal to 25% of
the employees would rather drink coffee than soft drinks during break time. The company has recently
decided to give free coffee during break time. In the new research conducted this year, out of 125 randomly
sampled employee 28% said that they would rather drinks coffee than soft drinks. At 0.05 level of
significance is there a sufficient evidence to suggest that the coffee drinkers have increased since the
company has decided to give free coffee during break time?
