A student researcher works at ski resort. For a student project, they would like to know whether the proportion of skiers on a particular day is about the same as the proportion of snowboarders. They take a stratified random sample, looking at each of the 3 chair lifts and randomly selecting every other chair of people to mark whether they are a skier (1) or a snowboarder (0). Which test is most appropriate to test whether the proportion of skiers is not 0.50?

One sample test of proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

Which test is most appropriate to test whether the proportion of skiers is not 0.50?

Since the test says to test whether the proportion of skiers is not 0.50, then here we will be studying just only the promotion of skiers without the comparison with snowboarders.

We have been given an hypothesized promotion and the test says to test against this proportion, so the appropriate test to use here is the one sample test of proportions
