Party A candidates were selected for the first position in 30 of 50 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.

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 nearest 0.001).
C. Do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Justify your answer.
D.Using Figure 8-5 on p. 366, clearly state your final conclusion.
