8 Consultations are taking place as to whether a site currently in use as a car park should be developed as a shopping mall. An agency acting on behalf of a firm of developers claims that at least \(65 \%\) of the local population are in favour of the development. In a survey of a random sample of 12 members of the local population, 6 are in favour of the development.
- Carry out a test, at the \(10 \%\) significance level, to determine whether the result of the survey is consistent with the claim of the agency.
- A local residents' group claims that no more than \(35 \%\) of the local population are in favour of the development. Without further calculations, state with a reason what can be said about the claim of the local residents' group.
- A test is carried out, at the \(15 \%\) significance level, of the agency's claim. The test is based on a random sample of size \(2 n\), and exactly \(n\) of the sample are in favour of the development. Find the smallest possible value of \(n\) for which the outcome of the test is to reject the agency's claim.
