Building codes in southern Florida require hurricane straps on single-family dwellings in order to more securely anchor the roof to the buildings. The straps should have no more than a 10% chance of failure in 150mph wind, and no more than a 45% chance of failure in a 200mph wind. 164 straps are tested at 200mph, and 48 of them fail. (a) Perform a hypothesis test to evaluate the claim that the straps are performing to code to an α = 0.01 (b) Provide the p − value for your test statistic determined in (a) (c) If you wished to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion with half-width E = 0.01, approximately how many straps would you need to test
