Question 748200: A telephone company estimate that 30% of its customers are interested in high speed interest services. To test this estimate, a random sample of 100 customers was selected and the results showered that 25 were interested in high speed internet service.

Null Hypothesis: p = 0.3
Alternative Hypothesis: p ≠ 0.3
Sample proportion: 25/100 = 0.25
Test Statistic, z = = -1.0911
Critical z: �1.96
Fail to Reject the Null Hypothesis because the test value is between the lower and upper critical values.
Sample does not provide enough evidence to reject the claim that 30% of its customers are interested in high speed internet services.
