Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming the assumptions etc. are all valid, the actual calculation has a z=-0.06/sqrt((0.56*0.44/100)); sqrt term = 0.0496
z=-1.21, and the rejection or noncritical region is |z|>1.96
Claim is possible or can use word warranted.
