In a sample of 165 children selected randomly from one town, it is found that 30 of them suffer from asthma. At the 0.05 significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of all children in the town who suffer from asthma is different from 11%? Use the P-value approach.
a) State the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically.
b) Which test procedure is appropriate to perform the required hypothesis test? Please check the assumptions.
c) Compute the value of the test statistic.
d) Determine the P-value.
e) Make a decision regarding the null hypothesis and interpret the results of the hypothesis test.

A random sample of 149 recent donations at a certain blood bank
reveals that 84 were type A blood. Does this suggest that the
actual percentage of type A donations differs from 40%, the
percentage of the population having type A blood? Carry out a test
of the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of
0.01.
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
