Answer

.2296; It is not unusually low, and the results are consistent with the hypothesis.

Work Step by Step

We find: $\mu=np=(1064)(.75)=798$ $ \sigma=\sqrt{npq}=\sqrt{(1064)(.25)(.75)}=14.12$ Thus, we find z: $z=\frac{787.5-798}{14.12}=-.74$ Thus, using the table of z-scores, we find that this corresponds to a probability of $.2296$ Thus, we see that the values are not unusually low. In addition, because 22.96 percent is very possible, this means that the hypothesis is not violated.
