Answer:
The value is [tex]z = 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population proportion of senior citizens is [tex]p = 0.10[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 225[/tex]
The number of senior citizens is k = 36
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p = 0.10[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : p > 0.10[/tex]
Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as
[tex]\^{p} = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]
=> [tex]\^{p} = \frac{ 36 }{225}[/tex]
=> [tex]\^{p} =0.16[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]z = \frac{\^{p} - p }{\sqrt{\frac{p(1 -p )}{n} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]z = \frac{0.16 - 0.10 }{\sqrt{\frac{p(1 -0.10)}{225} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]z = 3[/tex]
