Question

A hospital administrator claims that the proportion of knee surgeries that are successful is 87%. To test this claim, a random sample of 450 patients who underwent knee surgery is taken and it is determined that 371 of these patients had a successful knee surgery operation. 

The following is the setup for this hypothesis test:

H0:p = 0.87

Ha:p ≠ 0.87

Find the p-value for this hypothesis test for a proportion and round your answer to 3 decimal places.

The following table can be utilized which provides areas under the Standard Normal Curve:
