Answer:
Test statistic = 3.863
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Since the word "most" is used, it means more than 50% or 50 percent.
So, p_o = 0.5
Also, we are told that 58 % of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could.
Thus, p^ = 0.58
Number of randomly selected adults; n = 583
The test statistic formula for hypothesis test for proportion is given by:
z = (p^ - p_o)/[√[p_o(1 - p_o)/n]
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
z = (0.58 - 0.5)/[√[0.5(1 - 0.5)/583]
z = 0.08/0.02070788416
z = 3.863
