Suppose the sample in Exercise 6.80 has produced =.84 and we wish to test H0: p =.9 against the alternative Ha: p < .9

a. Calculate the value of the z statistic for this test.


b. Note that the numerator of the z statistic (p0 =.84 −.90 = −.06) is the same as for Exercise 6.80. Considering this, why is the absolute value of z for this exercise larger than that calculated in Exercise 6.80?


c. Complete the test, using a =.05, and interpret the result.


d. Find the observed significance level for the test and interpret its value.
