Question:

A true/false test has 50 questions. Suppose a passing grade is 35 or more correct answers. Test the claim that a student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing. Assume the student gets 35 answers correct out of 50. Use a significance level of 0.05. Steps 1 and 2 of a hypothesis test procedure are given. Show steps 3 and 4, and be sure to write a clear conclusion.

Step 1: H0: p = 0.50

Ha: p > 0.50

Step 2: Choose the one-proportion z-test. Sample size is large enough, because np0 is 50(0.5) = 25 and n(1 - p0) = 50(0.50) = 25, and both are more than 10. Assume the sample is random and α = 0.05.
