Essay

Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the required hypothesis test. Use the P-value approach.
-An article in a journal reports that 34% of American fathers take no responsibility for child care. A researcher claims that the figure is higher for fathers in the town of Littleton. A random sample of 233 fathers from Littleton yielded 96 who did not help with child care. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that in Littleton the percentage of fathers who take no responsibility for child care is higher than 34%? Use a 0.05 significance level.
