Questions: Streaming video: A streaming service is considering raising its fees. A marketing executive at the company surveys a sample of 415 subscribers and asks them whether they would continue subscribing if fees were raised by 20%. A total of 25 of the 415 replied that they would continue subscribing. The marketing executive of the company claims that less than 10% of all its subscribers would continue subscribing. Can you conclude that the executive's claim is true? Use the alpha=0.01 level of significance and the P-value method with the table.

Transcript text: Streaming video: A streaming service is considering raising its fees. A marketing executive at the company surveys a sample of 415 subscribers and asks them whether they would continue subscribing if fees were raised by $20 \%$. A total of 25 of the 415 replied that they would continue subscribing. The marketing executive of the company claims that less than $10 \%$ of all its subscribers would continue subscribing. Can you conclude that the executive's claim is true? Use the $\alpha=0.01$ level of significance and the $P$-value method with the table.
Part: $0 / 5$
Part 1 of 5
State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.
\[
\begin{array}{l}
H_{0}: p=.10 \\
H_{1}: p<.10
\end{array}
\]
This hypothesis test is a (Choose one) test.

Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: State the Hypotheses
We are testing the following hypotheses:
\[
\begin{align_}
H_{0}: & \quad p = 0.10 \\
H_{1}: & \quad p < 0.10
\end{align_}
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Test Statistic
The test statistic \( Z \) is calculated using the formula:
\[
Z = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1 - p_0)}{n}}}
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\hat{p} = \frac{25}{415} \approx 0.0602, \quad p_0 = 0.10, \quad n = 415
\]
Calculating \( Z \):
\[
Z = \frac{0.0602 - 0.10}{\sqrt{\frac{0.10(1 - 0.10)}{415}}} \approx -2.6998
\]
Step 3: Determine the P-value
The P-value associated with the test statistic \( Z = -2.6998 \) is:
\[
\text{P-value} = 0.0035
\]
Step 4: Compare P-value with Significance Level
The significance level is \( \alpha = 0.01 \). Since the P-value \( 0.0035 < 0.01 \), we reject the null hypothesis \( H_0 \).
Step 5: Conclusion
There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that less than \( 10\% \) of all subscribers would continue subscribing if fees were raised by \( 20\% \).
