Can some one please look over this and see if I made any errors. I think #4 might be wrong but I am not sure.

MAT 157 Inferential Statistics Final Project 2021
1.7% of Americans do not use the internet.

2.A hypothesis I would like to test: Does Polk County have more than 7% of its population not using the internet.
3.I will be attempting to infer my results from the population of Polk County.
4.A. H0:p0.07 against HA:p>0.07
B. The sampling method I used was simple random sample. I randomly choose 30 people from all age groups in Polk County and asked if they have the internet and if they use the internet.
C. My sample statistic is x= 30 people from Polk County.
D. The statistical test I used was a z-test.
The sample proportion is given by p^=x/n = 29/30 =0.9666667
The z-statistic is 19.24869
(.9666667-.07) / (\sqrt((.07(1-.07))/(30)))
E. The p-value for this data set is p < .0001.
F. The P value (<0.00001) is less than the level of significance (0.10), therefore, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis: Ha:p>0.07
G. Using a 90% confidence level, the sample data has a lower limit of 0.91183821 and an upper limit of 1.0214951.
H. The statistical study shows with a 90% confidence level that the proportion of people who do not use the internet in Polk County is less than 7% relative to the 7% percent of Americans that do not use the internet.
