The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the annexation of a new bridge. A political study took a sample of 900 voters in the town and found that 75% of the residents favored annexation. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is above 72%. Determine the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places.

P-value of the test statistic: P=0.0266.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis test on a proportion.

The claim is that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is above 72% This is going to be stated in the alternative hypothesis.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

The sample size is n=900 and the sample proportion is p=0.75.

The standard devaition is calculated as:

Then, the z-statistic is:

For this right tailed test, the P-value is:

answer: 45

1 + (6 / x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

divide using polynomial division.
