The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the annexation of an adjoining community. A political study took a sample of 900 voters in the town and found that 37% of the residents favored annexation. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is more than 33%. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places

The value of the test statistic is 2.49              

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 900

p = 33% = 0.33

Sample proportion of the residents favored annexation = 37%

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

This is a one-tailed(right) test.  

Formula:

Putting the values, we get,

Thus, the value of the test statistic is 2.49

f(x) is the value of the function. b is the value of the function when x equals zero or the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis in the coordinate plane.
