Calculate the z test stat for testing if the proportion is more than 50%

Also find the Pvalue by using wolframalpha.com 
enter 
probability Z distribution > test stat 
so if your test stat is  1.2
enter 
probability Z distribution > 1.2 
into wolframalpha.com 

It is not required for this question but if you did not have access to wolframalpha.com you could 
use the fact that Z0.05 =1.645 so if the test stat is more than 1.645 then the pvalue is less than 0.05 

a.
he pvlaue is -0.07
b.
the pvlaue is 0.03
c.
The test stat is 1.86
