A hypothesis test is to be performed for a population proportion. For the given sample data and null hypothesis, compute the value of the test statistic, z =
A drug company claims that over 90% of all physicians recommend their drug. 1200 physicians were asked if they recommend the drug to their patients. 46% said yes. H0: p = 0.9.

Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the specified hypothesis test. Use the critical-value approach.
x = 7, n = 81, H0: p = 0.08, Ha: p ≠ 0.08, α = 0.10
z = -0.41; critical values = ±1.28; do not reject H0
z = 0.21; critical values = ±1.645; do not reject H0
z = 0.21; critical values = ±1.28; do not reject H0
z = 1.87; critical values = ±1.645; reject H0

Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the specified hypothesis test. Use the critical-value approach.
x = 29, n = 167, H0: p = 0.11, Ha: p ≠ 0.11, α = 0.05
z = 1.36.; critical values = ±1.645; do not reject H0
z = 1.36; critical values = ±1.96; do not reject H0
z = 2.63.; critical values = ±1.645; reject H0
z = 2.63.; critical values = ±1.96; reject H0

-101.614
Just plug in with p0=0.9, p=0.46 and n=1200, we get z=-50.80
