The principal of Paul Revere High School bragged that his 2016 graduating class of 1500 students achieved impressive scores on their ACT exams. He announced that an “astounding” 36% of the class got a score of 29 or higher, 54% got a score of 21 to 28, and only 10% less than 21. You want to test whether these ACT results are really that astounding. You visit the ACT website to see that the national results are 34% getting a score over 28, 58% getting 21 to 28, and 8% less than 21. Test whether or not the principal is correct to brag that his proportions were more impressive than the national performance. Use an alpha of 0.05. So I kinda understand the question. I am mostly confused about how to determine the degree of freedom to get the critical value. Like I know the formula is d-C, and C is the number of categories in the word problem, but is there 3? Or am I just totally wrong?

In 2016 the Better Business Bureau settled 84% of complaints they received in the United States. Suppose you have been hired by the Better Business Bureau to investigate the complaints they received this year involving new car dealers. You plan to select a sample of new car dealer complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Better Business Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for new car dealers is 0.84, the same as the overall proportion of complaints settled in 2016. Use the z-table. a. Suppose you select a sample of 200 complaints involving new car dealers. Show the sampling distribution of p. E(p) (to 2 decimals) (to 4 decimals) b. Based upon a sample of 200 complaints, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals)? probability : = c.
