37. The given p-value is 0.5
Also the observed proportion is:
[tex]\hat{p}=30\%=0.3[/tex]And q is (1-p), so:
[tex]q=1-0.5=0.5[/tex]And the n-value is given 1158.
By replacing these values into the test statistic formula we obtain:
[tex]z=\frac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt[]{\frac{p\cdot q}{n}}}=\frac{0.3-0.5}{\sqrt[]{\frac{0.5\cdot0.5}{1158}}}=\frac{-0.2}{\sqrt[]{0.0002}}=\frac{-0.2}{0.015}=-13.61[/tex]The answer is -13.61
