At a certain university, 14% of students fail general chemistry on their first attempt. Professor Brown teaches at this university and believes that the rate of first-time failure in his general chemistry classes is 30%. He samples 80 students from last semester who were first-time enrollees in general chemistry and finds that 20 of them failed his course. i). State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. ii). Compute the test statistic z. iii). Using a = 0.05, can you conclude that the percentage of failures differs from 30%?
