1 A random variable has the distribution \(\mathrm { B } ( n , p )\). It is required to test \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p = \frac { 2 } { 3 }\) against \(\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : p < \frac { 2 } { 3 }\) at a significance level as close to \(1 \%\) as possible, using a sample of size \(n = 8,9\) or 10 . Use tables to find which value of \(n\) gives such a test, stating the critical region for the test and the corresponding significance level.
