Question 1183501: A farming cooperative in the KwaMashu buys wheat seeds for its farmer members from seed merchants. A particular seed merchant claims that their wheat seeds have at least an 80% germination rate. Before the farming cooperative will buy from this seed merchant, they want to verify this claim. A random sample of 320 wheat seeds supplied by this seed merchant was tested, and it was found that only 230 seeds germinated. Is there sufficient statistical evidence at the 3% significance level to justify the purchase of wheat seeds from this seed merchant? Use the p-value approach to conduct a hypothesis test for a single proportion, and report the findings to the KwaMashu farming cooperative. (10) marks
