Does this information imply that the color preference of all college students is different (either way) from that of the general population? Use ? = 0.05.

 
(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.
H0p = 0.24; H1p > 0.24H0p = 0.24; H1p < 0.24    H0p ≠ 0.24; H1p = 0.24H0p = 0.24; H1p ≠ 0.24

(b) What sampling distribution will you use?
The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.    The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
