Question

The mayor of a town saw an article that claimed the national unemployment rate is 8%. They wondered if this held true in their town, so they took a sample of 200 residents to test Ho p = 0.08 vS
Ha p ‡ 0.08 where p is the proportion of residents in the town that are
unemployed. The sample indicated that 22 residents were unemployed.
Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, what is the correct
value of the test statistic?
(final answer to 4 decimal
places)
Is there sufficient evidence to say that the proportion of the residents in
the mayor's town that is unemployed differs from the national unemployment rate, at the 0.05 level of significance?
(Yes or No)
