In a recent study, researchers found that 40 out of 250 boys aged 7-13 were overweight or obese. On the basis of this study can we conclude that more than 15% of the boys aged 7-13 in the sampled population are overweight or obese? Use a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. You MUSTshow your work to receive full credit. Partial credit is available.
