4 The proportion, \(p\), of people in a particular town who use the local supermarket is unknown.
A random sample of 30 people in the town is taken and each person is asked if they use the local supermarket.
The manager of the supermarket claims that 35\% of the people in the town use the local supermarket.
The random sample is used to conduct a hypothesis test at the \(5 \%\) level of significance with the hypotheses
$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p = 0.35
& \mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : p \neq 0.35
\end{aligned}$$
Show that the probability that a Type I error is made is 0.0356 , correct to four decimal places.
