Question
Assume that 38.2% of people have sleepwalked. Assume that in a random sample of 1540 adults, 629 have sleepwalked.
a. Assuming that the rate of 38.2% is correct, find the probability that
629 or more of the 1540 adults have sleepwalked.
b. Is that result of 629 or more significantly high?
c. What does the result suggest about the rate of 38.2%?
