7 A national survey shows that \(95 \%\) of year 12 students use social media. Arvin suspects that the percentage of year 12 students at his college who use social media is less than the national percentage. He chooses a random sample of 20 students at his college and notes the number who use social media. He then carries out a test at the \(2 \%\) significance level.
  1. Find the rejection region for the test.
  2. Find the probability of a Type I error.
  3. Jimmy believes that the true percentage at Arvin's college is \(70 \%\). Assuming that Jimmy is correct, find the probability of a Type II error.
