Our first test was to determine if the true proportion of
students at NOHS who admit to cheating was greater than 0.5. A
p-value of 0.868 was obtained from our one proportion z-test
based on a sample size of 95. Since our p-value is greater
than alpha (0.05) we rejected our hypothesis that the true
proportion is greater than 0.5. Therefore, we do not have
sufficient evidence to say that the proportion of high school
students at NOHS who admit to cheating is greater than 0.5
Our second test was to determine if the true proportion of students in weighted courses at NOHS who admit to cheating differs from that of students at NOHS in all general courses. A p-value of .981 was obtained from our two proportion z-test. Since our p-value is greater than alpha (0.05) we rejected our hypothesis that the true proportions were different. Therefore, we do not have sufficient evidence to say that the true proportion of students in weighted courses at NOHS who admit to cheating differs from that of students at NOHS in all general courses.
