Discussion:
1. A hypothesis test is to be performed for a population proportion. For the given sample data and null hypothesis, compute the value of the test statistic, z = p^-p0/√p0(1-p0)/n
A drug company claims that over 90% of all physicians recommend their drug. 1200 physicians were asked if they recommend the drug to their patients. 46% said yes. H0: p = 0.9.

2. Determine the standardized test statistic, z, to test the claim about the population proportion p < 0.850 given n=60 and ^P= 0.656 use α = 0.05

3. Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the specified hypothesis test. Use the critical-value approach.
x = 7, n = 81, H0: p = 0.08, Ha: p ≠ 0.08, α = 0.10
z = -0.41; critical values = ±1.28; do not reject H0
z = 0.21; critical values = ±1.645; do not reject H0
z = 0.21; critical values = ±1.28; do not reject H0
z = 1.87; critical values = ±1.645; reject H0
4. A hypothesis test is to be performed for a population proportion. For the given sample data and null hypothesis, compute the value of the test statistic, z = p^-p0/√p0(1-p0)/n
Out of 187 observations, 57% were successes. H0: p = 0.55.

Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the specified hypothesis test. Use the critical-value approach.
x = 29, n = 167, H0: p = 0.11, Ha: p ≠ 0.11, α = 0.05
z = 1.36.; critical values = ±1.645; do not reject H0
z = 1.36; critical values = ±1.96; do not reject H0
z = 2.63.; critical values = ±1.645; reject H0
z = 2.63.; critical values = ±1.96; reject H0
