3. A primary school teacher finds that exactly half of his year 6 class have mobile phones.
He decides to investigate whether the proportion of pupils with mobile phones is different from 0.5 in the year 5 class at his school. There are 25 pupils in the year 5 class.
- State the hypotheses that he should use.
- Find the largest critical region for this test such that the probability in each "tail" is less than \(2.5 \%\).
- Determine the significance level of this test.
He finds that eight of the year 5 pupils have mobile phones and concludes that there is not sufficient evidence of the proportion being different from 0.5
- Stating the new hypotheses clearly, find if the number of year 5 pupils with mobile phones would have been significant if he had tested whether or not the proportion was less than 0.5 and used the largest critical region with a probability of less than \(5 \%\).
