Answer

$β=0.2206$ Power of the test: 0.7794

Work Step by Step

$z_α=z_{0.10}$ If the area of the standard normal curve to the right of $z_{0.10}$ is 0.10, then the area of the standard normal curve to the left of $z_{0.10}$ is $1−0.10=0.90$ According to Table V, the z-score which gives the closest value to 0.90 is 1.28. $p ̂=p_0-z_α.\sqrt {\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}$ $p ̂=0.38-1.28\sqrt {\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{1122}}=0.361$ $β=P(Type~II~error)=P(p ̂\gt0.361~given~that~p=0.35)$ $β=P(z\gt\frac{0.361-0.35}{\sqrt {\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{1122}}})=P(z\gt0.77)=1-0.7794=0.2206$ Power of the test: $1-β=0.7794$
