Find Z when:
The claim is that the proportion of drowning deaths of children attributable to beaches is more than 0.25, and the sample statistics include n = 657 drowning deaths of children with 30% of them attributable to beaches.
----------------
Ho: p = 0.25
H1: p > 0.25
------------------
z(0.30) = (0.30-0.25)/sqrt[0.25*0.75/657] = 2.9597
