Suppose that you take a random sample of 10,000 Americans and find that 1,111 are left- handed. You perform a test of significance to assess whether the sample data provide evidence that more than 10% of all Americans are left-handed, and you calculate a test statistic of 3.70 and a p-value of .0001. Furthermore, you calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of left-handers in America to be (.103,.119).
Consider the following statements: The sample provides strong evidence that more than 10% of all Americans are left-handed. The sample provides evidence that the proportion of left-handers in America is much larger than 10%. Which of these two statements is the more appropriate conclusion to draw? Explain your answer based on the results of the significance test and confidence interval.
