Answer

n = 500, p = 0.38, q = 1-0.38 = 0.62 p̂=$\sqrt \frac{0.38*0.62}{500}$=0.0217 z= $\frac{0.38-0.3}{0.0217}$ =3.69 α = 0.05, From the table, critical value = 1.645 Rejection region = z> 1.645 Non rejection region = z <1.645 reject null hypothesis α = 0.05, α/2=0.025, From the table, critical value = 1.96 Rejection region = z< -1.96 or z> 1.96 Non rejection region = [-1.96 1.96] reject null hypothesis
