Answer:

c. About half of the students want the grant money to be used to buy more laptops for student use

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that your school has received a grant to upgrade the school library.

Sample size = 50

Sample proportion for students who would like to see more laptops available for student use=[tex]\frac{27}{50} =0.54[/tex]

[tex]H_0: p = 0.5\\H_a: p >0.5[/tex]

(Right tailed test at 5% level)

p difference = 0.04

Std error of p = [tex]\sqrt{pq/n} \\=\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{50} } \\=0.0707[/tex]

Z= p diff/std error = 0.5656

p value = 0.2858

Since p >0.05 we accept null hypothesis.i.e p = 0.5

c. About half of the students want the grant money to be used to buy more laptops for student use

Answer:

The correct answer is C: About half of the students want the grant money to be used to buy more laptops for student use

Step-by-step explanation:

You simply do the proportion based on the sample data and solve the fraction, which is around 50%. This means about half of the real population wanted grand money used for more laptops. (This is also the correct answer on edge)
