GMU uses a robot food delivery service which now has been utilized in the City of Fairfax. One of the potential benefits of this service is to help the busiest students eat breakfast. Research has shown that about 80% of college students skip breakfast due to busy schedules and other reasons. Initial data were collected from a random sample of 595 Mason students who utilize the robot food delivery service and are presented in StatCrunch.
Show the full calculation of the sample proportion by including the number of students who skipped breakfast, the total number of students sampled, and the value of the sample proportion. Present this sample proportion as a decimal rounded to four decimal places.
1. Frequency table results for Breakfast? Count =595
Breakfast?FrequencyRelative Frequency01420.2386554614530.76134454
Using α=0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that less than 80% GMU students who utilize the food delivery robots skip breakfast? Conduct a full hypothesis test by following the steps below.

Step 1
Hypothesis Testing:
It is basically a comparison of the statistical measures of the data with one sample(population) or two samples(populations) or more than two samples(populations). There are two hypotheses namely NULL and ALTERNATIVE.
The tail of the hypothesis will be decided from the alternative hypothesis. If it is '<' then left tail; '>' then right tail; Undefined control sequence \displaystylenene then two-tail. Whereas the null hypothesis is almost '=0' in most of the cases.
One-Sample Z-Test:
It is the hypothesis testing done for comparing the mean of the data to a specific value. As the name says it is a one-sample z-test, the data of one sample is considered for the complete hypothesis testing and the test statistics will be found from that data.
Step 2
Here, the level of significance is α=0.05, The hypothesis statement is
H0:p^=PvsH1:p^<P
Now, before calculating the test statistics, the standard deviation of the population is calculated using the given population proportion.
Here, the proportion of the sample is,
p^=453595=0.761344538=0.7613
The standard deviation of the population using the population proportion is,
σ=P×(1P)n
=0.80×(10.80)50
=0.80×0.2050
=0.1650
=0.0032
=0.056568542
=0.0566
Step 3
The test statistics is,
Z=p^Pσ
=0.76130.800.0566
=0.03890.0566
=0.683745583
Now, the p-value is calculated by the normal distribution for the probability of the Z-score is less than -0.683745583.
That is,
P(Z<0.683745583)=0.24707
Therefore the p-value for the test statistics is approximately 0.24707.
Step 4
Conclusion:
As the p-value of the hypothesis test statistics is greater than 0.05, that is the level of significance of the test; there is no sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. So, the GMU students who are all using the food delivery robots skip breakfast is 80%.
