H0: p = 0.24;H1: p > 0.24H0:p ≠ 0.24; H1: p =0.24    H0: p =0.24; H1: p ≠0.24H0: p = 0.24;H1: p < 0.24


(b) What sampling distribution will you use?

The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq> 5.The Student's t, since np > 5 andnq > 5.    The Student'st, since np < 5 and nq < 5.Thestandard normal, since np < 5 and nq <5.
