- Find the P -value for the indicated hypothesis test. A medical school claims that more than 28% of its students plan to go into general practice. It is found that among a random sample of 120 of the school's students, 30% of them plan to go into general practice. Find the P -value for a test of the school's claim.arrow_forwardThe P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject Ho when the level of significance is (a) a = 0.01, (b) a = 0.05, and (c) a = 0.10.
