According to inc, 79% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. suppose a survey of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers showed that 314 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. in addition, 281 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer. (a) conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the results of the survey justify concluding the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search exceeds the proportion of the population that use social media in their job search. use α = 0.05. state the null and alternative hypothesis. (enter ! = for ≠ as needed.)

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is higher than 0.79.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=750 represent the random sample taken

X=314 represent the respondents that use social media in their job search.

estimated proportion of respondents that use social media in their job search

is the value that we want to test

represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is hgiher than 0.79.:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisticc, and the is given by:  

(1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value .

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given we have so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is higher than 0.79.
