Question
An Office of Admission document claims that 54.7% of UVA
undergraduates are female. To test this claim, a random sample of 205 UVA
undergraduates was selected. In this sample, 52.4% were female. Is there
sufficient evidence to conclude that the document's claim is false? Carry out a
hypothesis test at a 2% significance level.
A. The value of the standardized test statistic:
Note: For the next part, your answer should use interval notation. An answer of
the form (-0, a) is expressed (-infty, a), an answer of the form (b, 0) is
expressed (b, infty), and an answer of the form (-0, a) u
