Question

Symposium is part of a larger work referred to as Plato's Dialogues. Wishart and Leach† found that about 21.4% of five-syllable sequences in Symposium are of the type in which four are short and one is long. Suppose an antiquities store in Athens has a very old manuscript that the owner claims is part of Plato's Dialogues. A random sample of 482 five-syllable sequences from this manuscript showed that 125 were of the type four short and one long. Do the data indicate that the population proportion of this type of five-syllable sequence is higher than that found in Plato's Symposium? Use ? = 0.01.

(b)
What sampling distribution will you use?
The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5.    The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
 
(c)
Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
