Symposium is part of a larger work referred to as Plato's Dialogues. Wishart and Leach† found that about 21.4% of five-syllable sequences in Symposium are of the type in which four are short and one is long. Suppose an antiquities store in Athens has a very old manuscript that the owner claims is part of Plato's Dialogues. A random sample of 498 five-syllable sequences from this manuscript showed that 129 were of the type four short and one long. Do the data indicate that the population proportion of this type of five-syllable sequence is higher than that found in Plato's Symposium? Use ???? = 0.01.

ymposium is part of a larger work referred to as Plato's Dialogues. Wishart and Leach† found that about 21.4% of five-syllable sequences in Symposium are of the type in which four are short and one is long. Suppose an antiquities store in Athens has a very old manuscript that the owner claims is part of Plato's Dialogues. A random sample of 498 five-syllable sequences from this manuscript showed that 129 were of the type four short and one long. Do the data indicate that the population proportion of this type of five-syllable sequence is higher than that found in Plato's Symposium? Use = 0.01.  

a. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)  

b. Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

a) [tex]Z=2.45[/tex]

b) [tex]P Value=0.0073[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Probability of Wishart and Leach [tex]P=21.4=>0.214[/tex]

Population Size [tex]N=498[/tex]

Sample size [tex]n=12[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]P'=\frac{129}{498}[/tex]

[tex]P'=0.2590[/tex]

Generally the Null and Alternative Hypothesis is mathematically given by

[tex]H_0:P=0.214[/tex]

[tex]H_a:=P>0.214[/tex]

Test Statistics

[tex]Z=\frac{P'-P}{\sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z=\frac{0.2590-0.214}{\sqrt{\frac{0.214(1-0.214)}{498}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z=2.45[/tex]

Therefore P Value is given as

[tex]P Value =P(Z\geq 2.45)[/tex]

[tex]P Value =1-P(Z\leq 2.45)[/tex]

[tex]P Value =1-0.99268525[/tex]

[tex]P Value=0.0073[/tex]
