Solution

To calculate the test statistic for the given hypothesis test, we will use the formula for the test statistic for a proportion:

z=p^p0p0(1p0)n z = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0 (1 - p_0)}{n}}}

where:

  • p^\hat{p} is the sample proportion
  • p0p_0 is the hypothesized population proportion
  • nn is the sample size

Given:

  • p0=0.72p_0 = 0.72
  • n=90n = 90
  • Number of subjects with the characteristic = 68

First, calculate the sample proportion p^\hat{p}:

p^=6890=0.756 \hat{p} = \frac{68}{90} = 0.756

Next, calculate the standard error of the proportion:

SE=p0(1p0)n=0.72×(10.72)90=0.72×0.2890=0.201690=0.002240.047 \text{SE} = \sqrt{\frac{p_0 (1 - p_0)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.72 \times (1 - 0.72)}{90}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.72 \times 0.28}{90}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.2016}{90}} = \sqrt{0.00224} \approx 0.047

Now, calculate the test statistic zz:

z=p^p0SE=0.7560.720.047=0.0360.0470.766 z = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\text{SE}} = \frac{0.756 - 0.72}{0.047} = \frac{0.036}{0.047} \approx 0.766

Therefore, the test statistic is approximately 0.7660.766.
