4.   The 8th-grade national norm for a social science test is a score of 120 with a
   standard deviation of 10. The research director of a school district wants to
   know how the scores of pupils in his district compare with this standard. He
   selects a sample of 80 students and finds a sample mean of 123 and a
   sample standard deviation of 9.50. Test the null hypothesis at the.05 level of
   significance and state your conclusions. Be sure to follow all steps of the
   hypothesis testing procedure.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a U.S. government agency, 17.3% of 8th graders in 2010 had used marijuana at some point in their lives. A school official hopes to show the percentage is lower in his district, testing H0: p = 0.173 versus Ha: p < 0.173. The health department for the district uses anonymous random sampling and finds that 10% of 80 eighth graders surveyed had used marijuana. Is the sample size condition for conducting a...
