1. Steve listens to his favorite streaming music service when he works out. He wonders whether the service
algorithm does a good job of finding random songs that he will like more often than not. To test this, he
listens to 50 songs chosen by the service at random and finds that he likes 32 of them.
Use Excel to test whether Steve will like a randomly selected song more than not and then draw a conclusion in
the context of a problem. Use α = 0.05. Typeequation here .
Ho: p = ≤ 0.5 (50%) p = 0.5
Ha: p = > 0.5 (strictly ¿>≠ )
P-value = 0.02 which is < α=0.05 we reject Ho and support the Ha

1. A magazine regularly tested products and gave the reviews to its customers. In one of its
reviews, it tested 2 types of batteries and claimed that the batteries from company A
outperformed batteries from company B in 108 of the tests. There were 200 tests. Company
B decided to sue the magazine, claiming that the results were not significantly different from
50% and that the magazine was slandering its good name.
