p-value of the following test












0












$begingroup$


I have the following problem:



I have $X_1 ... X_n$ ~ Bernoulli(p) independent.
I also have the following test hypothesis: $H_0: p = p_0$ and $H_1: p > p_0$. I define my test as follows:



$T:$ I refuse $H_0$ in favour of $P_1$ if the number of successes is very high.



Now suppose $p_0 = 0.6$ and $n = 20$, we find that we have 18 successes.



I want to find the p-value of the test.



Now this is what I have done:



$p-value = mathbb{P}(sum x_i geq 18)$ = 0.0005240494
However confronting it with the command:



binom.test(18,20,p=.6,alternative=greater)


It is not right (by a factor of 10). My problem is that I am not able to correctly asses what the "number of succession is very high". How do I work around this?

    I don't have that information. I don't think is needed as the purpose of the p-value is to work without one, from my understanding.

Letting $K=sum_i mathbb{I}(X_i = 1)$ be the number of successes, you have $K sim text{Bin}(n,p)$. Thus, your p-value is:



$$begin{equation} begin{aligned}
p equiv p(k)
&equiv mathbb{P}( K geqslant k | H_0) \[6pt]
&= mathbb{P}( K geqslant k | K sim text{Bin}(n,p_0)) \[6pt]
&= sum_{r=k}^n text{Bin}(r|n,p_0). \[6pt]
end{aligned} end{equation}$$



With $p_0=0.6$, $n=20$ and $k=18$ you get the p-value:



$$p = sum_{r=18}^{20} text{Bin}(r|20, 0.6)
= 0.003611472.$$
