It is believed that nearsightedness affects about 8% of all children. In a random sample of 194 children, 21 are nearsighted. (a) Construct hypotheses appropriate for the following question: do these data provide evidence that the 8% value is inaccurate? Ho: p = .08 Ha: p > .08 Ho: p = .08 Ha: p ≠ .08 Ho: p = .08 Ha: p < .08 (b) What proportion of children in this sample are nearsighted? 0.1082 (round to four decimal places) (c) Given that the standard error of the sample proportion is 0.0195 and the point estimate follows a nearly normal distribution, calculate the test statistic (use the Z-statistic). Z = 1.44 (please round to two decimal places)

(d) What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?
p =  (please round to four decimal places)

It is generally believed that nearsightedness affects about 15% of children. A school district gives vision tests to 111 incoming kindergarten children. Use the empirical rule (68%-95%-99.7% Rule) to determine what proportion of nearsighted children we might expect to see in samples of 111 children (I'm not looking for the number of children). Assume conditions are met! No need to draw the model, though if you find it easier to do so you may draw it by hand and attach...
