Question 1198408: A researcher claims that 15% of children suffer from chronic ear infections. A sample of 100 children was taken and it was found that 18% of the children suffer from chronic ear infections.

Ho: p = .15
Ha: p ≠ .15
two-tailed
Sample: n = 100, x̄ = .18,
.01 significance level
z = = -.84
p = .2
.2 > .01, Fail to reject Ho.
Evidence not sufficient to support p ≠ .15
