Suppose that 67.2% of all adults with type 2 diabetes also suffer from hypertension. After developing a new drug to treat type 2 diabetes, a team of researchers at a pharmaceutical company wanted to know if their drug had any impact on the incidence of hypertension for diabetics who took their drug. The researchers selected a random sample of 500 participants who had been taking their drug as part of a recent large-scale clinical trial and found that 317 suffered from hypertension. The researchers want to use a one‑sample z ‑test for a population proportion to see if the proportion of type
2 diabetics who have hypertension while taking their new drug, p, is different from the proportion of all type
2 diabetics who have hypertension. They decide to use a significance level of = 0.05.
A. Determine the p value for this test.
B. Determine the value of the z test statistic.
