Answer:

Since 2.1387 is Greater Than 1.645;

we reject null hypothesis; we conclude that, the nickname is justified based on the data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Null hypothesis H₀ : p = 0.262

Alternative Hypothesis H₁ : p > 0.262.

p" = 0.357

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.262 = 0.738

n = 98

so;

z = (p" - p) / √(pq/n)

we substitute

z = (0.357 - 0.262) / √((0.262×0.738) / 98)

z = 0.095 / 0.04441869

z = 2.1387

at 5% CONFIDENCE INTERVAL

z-critical = 1.645

Since 2.1387 is Greater Than 1.645;

we reject null hypothesis; we conclude that, the nickname is justified based on the data.
