Suppose are running a study/poll about the proportion of women over 40 who regularly have mammograms. You randomly sample 118 people and find that 98 of them match the condition you are testing.
Suppose you have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running:
H0:p=0.8H0:p=0.8
Ha:p>0.8Ha:p>0.8
Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places
Expert Solution
