Q: It was claimed recently that more than 65% of high school students in the United States use computers for educational purposes. We wish to examine this claim. We choose a random sample of 180 U.S. high school students and find that 123 of these students use computers for educational purposes. Based on this, can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that more than 65% of high school students in the United States use computers for educational purposes? In your answers, denote the proportion of all U.S. high school students who happen to use computers for educational purposes by p.
