8. Rogers (2015) estimated that 75% of Eurosta fly larvae in SE Wisconsin survive the winter inside of their gall. Suppose we collect 15 galls from an urban area in Milwaukee, 13 of which had living Eurosta fly larvae inside of them. What is the p-value of a test of the hypothesis that the Urban population has the same survival rate as the N.E. population as a whole? Hint: use the binomial equation to approximate a p-value:

Step 1
The sample size is $n=15$. The number of successes (surviving larvae) is $k=13$. The probability of success (survival rate) is $p=0.75$. We want to test the hypothesis that the urban population has the same survival rate as the N.E. population, which is $p=0.75$. Show more…
