Question:
Statistics students were asked to randomly pick a whole number between 1 and 10. Sixty-two out of 101 students picked a number greater than 5.

Test by answering (a)–(e).
a. Stating the hypotheses in words and in symbols.
b. Give the value of the statistic.
c. Are the validity conditions met? Explain.
