Question

Best on-time airlines: Hawaiian Airlines topped the list of the most punctual U.S. airlines for full-year 2014, according to data released by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The on-time arrival performance was 91.9% Another aviation data service believes that this percentage now is even higher. The team of researchers chose 130 randomly selected flights and find that 120 of the flights arrived on time.

Can a hypothesis test be used to determine whether the proportion of Hawaiian Airlines flights that arrive on-time is higher than 91.9%?

Yes, because the sample is random. Thus, it is representative of the population of flights for the airlines.
Yes, because the sample is random and (130)(0.923) and (130)(0.077) are both at least 10. This means the normal model is a good fit for the sampling distribution.
Yes, because the sample is random and (130)(0.919) and (130)(0.081) are both at least 10. This means the normal model is a good fit for the sampling distribution.
