In a program designed to help patients stop smoking, 181 patients were given sustained care, and 84.5% of them were no longer smoking after one month. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 79% of patients stop smoking when given sustained care. Use the P-value method. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.

identify the test statistic.

identify the P-value.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
