Before the overtime rule in the National Football League was changed in 2011, among 460 overtime games, 252 were won by the team that won the coin toss at the beginning of overtime. Using a 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the coin toss is fair in the sense that neither team has an advantage by winning it. Does the coin toss appear to be fair?

In a nationally representative sample of 1,668 adult Americans, 510 indicated that they had checked their credit score within the last 12 months. Suppose of the 510 people that had checked their credit report within the last 12 months, 39% had done so as part of their regular financial planning. Does this provide convincing evidence that more than one-third of adult Americans who have checked their credit scores within the past 12 months did so as part of regular financial planning? Carry out a test using a significance level of 0.01. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use a table or SALT. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z=P-value= State the conclusion in the problem context. Fail to reject H0.
