The proportion p of residents in a community who recycle has traditionally been 60%. A policy maker claims that the proportion is less than 60% now that one of the recycling centers has been relocated. If 133 out of a random sample of 230 residents in the community said they recycle, is there enough evidence to support the policy maker's claim at the 0.10 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (For Z test statistics) Find the value of the test statistic and round to 3 or more decimal places. (I have posted a picture of an example problem and the equation to use, with the correct answer as every expert I have asked thus far has gotten this problem wrong.) A. Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) B. Find the critical value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) C. Is there enough evidence to support the policy maker's claim that the proportion of residents who recycle is less than 60%?
