Question
A recent study at a local college claimed that the proportion, 
p
, of students who commute more than fifteen miles to school is no more than 
20%
. If a random sample of 
250
 students at this college is selected, and it is found that 
51
 commute more than fifteen miles to school, can we reject the college's claim at the 
0.05
 level of significance?

Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below.

Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.

The null hypothesis:
H0:
 
The alternative hypothesis:
H1:
 
The type of test statistic: (Choose one)ZtChi squareF      
     
The value of the test statistic:
(Round to at least three decimal places.)
 
The critical value at the 
0.05
 level of significance:
(Round to at least three decimal places.)
 
Can we reject the claim that the proportion of students who commute more than fifteen miles to school is no more than 
20%
?
