Question 28

The random variable X X\,X has the distribution X∼B(24,0.35)X \sim B(24, 0.35)X∼B(24,0.35) under the null hypothesis H0H_0H0​: p=0.35p = 0.35p=0.35, and the alternative hypothesis is H1H_1H1​: p≠0.35p \ne 0.35p=0.35.

A two-tailed test is to be carried out at the 5% significance level, with a probability of at most 0.025 in each tail.

a.

Find the critical region for this test.

[4]
b.

[1]
c.
