Additional Information and Full Hypothesis Test Examples · Exercise 46

Hypothesis testing: For the following 10 exercises, answer each question.

A research group is studying a particular infectious disease. In 2011 at least 18 percent of nursing home residents had the disease. An Introduction to Statistics class in Daviess County, KY, conducted a hypothesis test at the nursing home (approximately 1,200 residents) to determine if the local nursing home's incidence was lower. One hundred fifty residents were chosen at random and surveyed. Of the 150 residents surveyed, 82 have the disease. Use a significance level of 0.05 and, using appropriate statistical evidence, conduct a hypothesis test and state the conclusions.

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
