No piece of information is supplied to choose from ; However, the requirements for the test statistic of the hypothesis in question is given below.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

The hypothesis in the question above which is to be tested is a one sample proportion test ;

The test statistic formula for a one sample proportion test is given as :

Test statistic = (Phat - P) / √[P(1 - P) / n] ;

Where;

Phat = sample proportion

P = population proportion

n = sample size

Sample proportion = x / n ;

Therefore, once the parameters (Sample proportion, population proportion and sample size are given) then obtaining the test statistic is possible.
