Answer:

The value of the test statistic = 6.03

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistics for a proportion of the population is the z calculated as follows;

[tex]z=\frac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n}}}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\hat{p}[/tex] = 0.64

From the rule of large numbers we have, the proportion of adults who will erase their information online will tend towards 1/2 or 0.5 therefore, we have

p = 0.5 as the test

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

n = Sample size = 464

Therefore, z is given by;

[tex]z=\frac{0.64-0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5 \times 0.5}{464}}}[/tex]

=  6.03

The value of the test statistic = 6.03.
