Problem 2

A researcher analyzes the last digits of lottery ticket numbers in a city and finds that among 15001500 randomly selected digits, 175175 are sevens. If the digits are randomly distributed, the proportion of sevens should be 0.10.1. Use the critical value method with a 0.050.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of sevens equals 0.10.1. What is your conclusion?
