Answer:

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{0.512-0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{344}}}=0.445  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=344 represent the random sample taken

X=176 represent the anumber of boys babies

\hat p=\frac{176}{344}=0.512 estimated proportion of boys babies

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to check

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypotheis to verify

We want to check if the true proportion of boys is less than 50% then the system of hypothesis are .:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{0.512-0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{344}}}=0.445

trapecia [35]

Don't you mean 66 divided by eight?

That would equal 8.25, or 8 remainder 2.

if you did mean 8 divided by 66, your answer is not one of your choices.
