Give your answer to 2 decimal places. Z= c) Therefore, at a significance level of 0.05, the null hypothesis is to conclude that the of people who support the proposed upgrade That is, you can state that there is project is 0.6.

Answer 1

Solution :- Ha: Þ 30.6 a) Ho: p= 0.6 no correct option 2 lo с 02 neres)=76 esta b) Z= - 7630 0.6 1.95 blood 110 þ (1-b) ton 0.6x0.4 ص ۱ ۱ a critical Za= 1.64 A a=0.05 is is Rejected Null hypothesis sufficient evidence you can state that there to conclude a that the true proportion of people who support the proposed upgrade project is 100 more than 0.6.
