How does the z score and p value relate to the rejection region? Can you think of some real life applications of hypothesis testing?How would the z score and p value relate to the rejection region?Give a real life examples of hypothesis testing
Suppose we want to test whether the population proportion of people who had a certain disease is equal to 0.5 in a certain country. We randomly choose 100 people, obtain the number of people in this sample who have that disease and compute z score. If z score is larger than the critical value and in the rejection region, p-value would be less than the level of significance. In this situation we would reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the proportion is not equal to 0.5.
Please let me know if you have any questions and rate my answer. Thanks.
