The National Academy of Science reported that 38% of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 38%. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 279 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 123 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson's claim that the percentage is no longer 38 % ? Use a 0.02 level of significance.
Compute the value of the test statistic. Round to two decimal places.

A marketing research company desires to know the mean consumption of milk per week among males over age 32. They believe that the milk consumption has a mean of 4 liters, and want to construct a 98% confidence interval with a maximum error of 0.07 liters. Assuming a variance of 0.64 liters, what is the minimum number of males over age 32 they must include in their sample? Round up to the next integer.
