Ask Custom Question

A psychologist believes that at least 80 percent of male drivers, when lost, continue to drive hoping to find the location they seek rather than ask for directions. To test this belief, she took a random sample of 400 male drivers and asked each what they did when lost. Of these drivers, 309 indicated that they do not ask for directions when lost. At the 1 percent significance level, develop a hypothesis test to determine if the psychologists claim can be substantiated based on this evidence.
