When technical analysts say a stock has good "relative strength," they mean: The recent trading volume in the stock has exceeded the normal trading volume. the total return on the stock has exceeded the total return on T-bills. The stock has performed well recently compared to its past performance. The ratio of the price of the stock to a market or industry index has trended upward.

Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day. A sample of 53 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 22 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly more than 0.3. You use a significance level of `alpha = 0.005`. What is the test statistic for this sample?
