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.

Ten percent of the world's population is left-handed. A researcher claims that left-handed individuals are more creative than those who aren't left-handed. In order to support his claim, he takes a sample of 900 artists and finds that 9% of them are left-handed. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p̂, where p̂ is the proportion of left-handed individuals in a random sample of 900. (b) Find the standard deviation of p̂. (c) Compute an approximation for P(p̂ ≤ 0.09), which is the probability that there will be 9% or fewer left-handed people in a random sample of 900. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Find the sample proportion $\hat{p}$. Of the students who identified their class year in the survey, 94 were first years, 195 were sophomores, 35 were juniors, and 36 were seniors. Find $\hat{p}$, the proportion who are upperclass students (juniors or seniors.)
