\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: p=0.6
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: p is not 0.6
\n" ); document.write( "x=35 when n=50 implies that p-hat=35/50=0.7
\n" ); document.write( "z(0.7)=(0.7-0.6)/sqrt[(0.6*0.4)/50)=0.1/sqrt0.0048=0.1/0.069=1.44
\n" ); document.write( "p value = 0.07
\n" ); document.write( "Since p value > alpha, Fail to Reject Ho.
\n" ); document.write( "Conclusion.
