Round to two decimal places as needed

Answer 1

Answer:

- 6.547

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size (n) = 1207

p = 0.85

p0 = 0.92

The test statistic :

Z = (p - p0) / √(p0(1 - p0) / n)

Z = (0.85 - 0.92) / √(0.92(1 - 0.85) / 1207)

Z = - 0.07 / √(0.92(0.15) / 1207)

Z = - 0.07 / √0.0001143

Z = - 0.07 / 0.0106926

Z = - 6.5465446

Z = - 6.547
