    • The variable recorded was: Select an answer Number of mammograms received Date of last mammogram Percentage of women who have had a mammogram in the last two years Mammogram occurred in last two years
    • np = ___________________ and n(1 - p) = _______________________. Both of the values are greater than 10: Select an answer True/ False

It was found that 523 women in the sample had a mammogram in the last two years. Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.01.

  • H0: ____________________ Ha:____________________
  • = ________________ decision rule: ___________________
  • Test Statistic: z = _____________________ (Note: round the z-score to two decimal places - carry at least four decimal places throughout all of your calculations)
  • probability= _________________________ (Note: round the probability to four decimal places)
  • Decision: ____________________
