Postpartum depression and anxiety (PPD), is a common medical condition affecting mothers and their families after the birth of a baby. The CDC estimated that
Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
Answer
We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.05 level of significance that the true percentage of women who have PPD is greater than
We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.05 level of significance that the true percentage of women who have PPD is greater than
We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.05 level of significance that the true percentage of women who have PPD is greater than
We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.05 level of significance that the true percentage of women who have PPD is greater than
Step 1 :Define the null hypothesis as the true proportion of women who suffer from PPD is 13% (0.13), and the alternative hypothesis as the true proportion is greater than 13%.
Step 2 :Given a sample size of 103 women, and 21 of them report having PPD, calculate the sample proportion.
Step 3 :Perform a z-test to determine if we can reject the null hypothesis at a 0.05 level of significance.
Step 4 :Calculate the p-value. If the p-value is less than the significance level (0.05), we can reject the null hypothesis.
Step 5 :
Step 6 :
Step 7 :
Step 8 :
Step 9 :
Step 10 :
Step 11 :
Step 12 :Since the p-value is less than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis.
Step 13 :
