TopicHypothesis test of binomial distributions
TypePerform one-tailed hypothesis test

18 It is known from previous data that 14\% of the visitors to a particular cookery website are under 30 years of age. To encourage more visitors under 30 years of age a large advertising campaign took place to target this age group. To test whether the campaign was effective, a sample of 60 visitors to the website was selected. It was found that 15 of the visitors were under 30 years of age. 18
  1. Explain why a one-tailed hypothesis test should be used to decide whether the sample provides evidence that the campaign was effective. 18
  2. Carry out the hypothesis test at the \(5 \%\) level of significance to investigate whether the sample provides evidence that the proportion of visitors under 30 years of age has increased.

  3. State one necessary assumption about the sample for the distribution used in part (b) to be valid.
