3. In one European country, 30% of all births were done by caesarian section due to medical necessity. However, in some cases, OBGYNs were performing them due to a request from the mother. In a review of 300 OBGYNs around the country 87 said they had, in the previous year, performed at least one caesarian section because the mother had requested it even though there was no medical indication for it. Use this to test whether requested caesarian sections were performed at a lower rate than the medically indicated rate.

a. Are we testing for <, >, or ?<

b. What is the population parameter p₀? 0.30

c. What is the value of the sample proportion p-hat?(You need to calculate this.) 0.29

d. Write the null and the alternate hypothesis:

H₀: P=0.30

H_a: P<0.30

d. n=300No. of events:x= 87p₀=0.30np₀=90n(1- p₀ )=210

e. Are both n p₀ and n(1- p₀) 10? yes

f. Use Minitab for the Hyp. Testing for proportions (Copy your results below)

g. What is the p-value?h. Is the p-value<0.05?

(i)Does the p-value support claim?(Note: We conclude that the proportion is significantly smaller if the p-value is <0.05).

(j)Conclusion
