Answer

$β=0.1949$ Power of the test: 0.8051

Work Step by Step

$z_α=z_{0.01}$ If the area of the standard normal curve to the right of $z_{0.01}$ is 0.01, then the area of the standard normal curve to the left of $z_{0.01}$ is $1−0.01=0.99$ According to Table V, the z-score which gives the closest value to 0.99 is 2.33. $p ̂=p_0-z_α.\sqrt {\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}$ $p ̂=0.75-2.33\sqrt {\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{400}}=0.700$ $β=P(Type~II~error)=P(p ̂\gt0.700~given~that~p=0.68)$ $β=P(z\gt\frac{0.700-0.68}{\sqrt {\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{400}}})=P(z\gt0.86)=1-0.8051=0.1949$ Power of the test: $1-β=0.8051$
