Week 7 Assignment Conduct a Hypothesis for Proportion-P-Value Approach

Question

A teacher claims that the proportion of students expected to pass an exam is greater than 80%. To test this claim, the teacher administers the test to 200 random students and determines that 151 students pass the exam.
