Veterans' Marital Problems

Researchers found that in a sample of 2101 Vietnam veterans, 777 had been divorced at least once (Gimbel and Booth, 1994). U.S. Census figures indicate that among all American men born between 1945 and 1954, by age 50 about 34.5% had been divorced at least once. Conduct a test of significance to assess whether or not the sample data from the study provide strong evidence that the divorce rate among all Vietnam veterans is greater than 34.5%.

a. Report the test statistic.

Round your answer to TWO decimal places.  You may use the observed proportion rounded to 3 decimal places if working by hand.
