Question

Please show work:

During a recent election, a clerk was responsible for the placement of candidate’s names on election ballots for a particular voting precinct. Party A candidates were selected for the first position in 35 of 50 ballots. Because the clerk was supposed to use a method of random selection, Party B claimed that instead of using randomness, the clerk used a method favoring Party A. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the method favored Party A. [Note: Favored means a proportion greater than 50%.]
