During a recent election, a clerk was responsible for the placement of candidates names on the election ballots for a particular voting precinct. Party A candidates were selected for the first position in 24 of 32 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%.] a) Clearly identify and state the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative Hypothesis H1. b) Determine the critical value(s) and the value of the appropriate test statistic (to the nearest 0.001). c) Do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Justify your
