Chicken Delight claims that 91% of its orders are delivered within 10 minutes of the time the order is placed. A sample of 90 orders revealed that 81 were delivered within the promised time. At the 0.10 significance level, can we conclude that less than 91% of the orders are delivered in less than 10 minutes?
What is the decision rule? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Compute the value of the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the intermediate values and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Solution
a)
Formulating the null and alternatuve hypotheses,
Ho: p >= 0.91
Ha: p < 0.91
As we see, the hypothesized po = 0.91
As this is left tailed at 0.10 level, then we reject Ho if
z < -1.28 [ANSWER]
*********************
b)
Getting the point estimate of p, p^,
p^ = x / n = 0.9
Getting the standard error of p^, sp,
sp = sqrt[po (1 - po)/n] = 0.030166206
Getting the z statistic,
z = (p^ - po)/sp = -0.331496772 [ANSWER]
**********************
c)
As z > -1.28, we CANNOT REJECT HO: p >= 0.91. [ANSWER]
