A researcher claims that the proportion of people who are right-handed is 70%. To test this claim, a random sample of 600 people is taken and 397 are right-handed. Find the p-value for this hypothesis test for a proportion and round it to 3 decimal places.
Added by Elizabeth J.
Step 1
The sample proportion is calculated as the number of successes (right-handed people) divided by the total number of trials (total people). In this case, p̂ = 397/600 = 0.662. Show more…

In a random sample of males, it was found that 28 write with their left hands and 210 do not. In a random sample of females, it was found that 56 write with their left hands and 453 do not. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Identify the test statistic. z = 0.31 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value. P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
