decided to pursue this new marketing program only if at
least 30% of such parents might be interested in this kind
of plan. They surveyed 250 randomly selected parents,
of whom 38% indicated some interest. Which formula
below correctly computes the z-score they should use to
see if this survey result provides evidence that the true
proportion is over 30%?
A) z = 0.38 - 0.30
A
(0.30)(0.70)
250
B) z = 0.30 - 0.38
A
(0.30)(0.70)
250
C) z = 0.38 - 0.30
A
(0.38)(0.62)
250
D) z = 0.38 - 0.30
2250(0.30)(0.70)
E) z = 0.30 - 0.38
2250(0.38)(0.62)
