Question

Give an example of a numerical claim about a Population Proportion that you as a Health Professional would be interested in doing a Hypothesis Test for. The target Population of your Hypothesis Test activities MUST be included in your discussion. Your discussion MUST explícitly state the Null and Alternative Hypothesis for your example. As shown in the text your Null and Alternative hypothesis MUST include the symbol for a Population Proportion along with your hypothesized claimed numerical value for this parameter.

Answer 1

Being a heath professional, the data that will be of interest can be people prefering morning or evening walk, doing yoga or workout for stress relief. Any event which has only 2 outcomes like aforementioned or yer or no type can be considered for population proportion testing.

Here we wil have a sample 'n' out of which 'x' can be the no. of people preferring morning walk. The previous studies show that about 60% people prefer morning walk. But due to change in work schedules health professionals claim that this has reduced. So we will test this claim.

$H_{0}:$ p = 60%

$H_{1}:$ p < 60%

Where 'p' is the population proportion.

The target population can be individual of age of 25 - 35 years.
