Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Experiments were performed for 240 people, 60 people test positive.

Step 1: we calculate the sample proportion; p= 60/240= 0.25.

Step 2: calculate the standard error for the sample, which is the square root of sample proportion,p = p(1-p)/n, n=100

0.25(1-0.25)/100

= 0.04.

Step 3: calculate the test statistics; assuming the hypothesis test percentage is 25%

Then, we say 0.25-1=0.75

-0.75/0.04

= -1.875.

In particular, the sample results are -1.875 standard error.

Probability of Z is less than -1.875.

Look up it value in the Z table
