(a) Start at the beginning of line 122 and write the first 30 digits as two-digit numbers. Circle those that represent a response of nonfiction.
(b) Write p and for the situation.

Answer 54

So as the prompt states, the first 30 digits of line 122 are supposed to be written in groups of two like so: 47, 71, 18, 92, 00, 20, 40, 89, 02, 26, 48, 33, 77, 87, 84, 74

And those values who fall between 01 and 42 represent a yes to nonfiction. These are:
18, 20, 40, 02, 26, and 33

Now we find the P value. Remember, the null hypothesis is 42% preference to nonfiction.

So our sample percentage is:
\[\frac{ 6 }{ 30 } \times 100 = 20\]
which means from our sample, there's only 20% preference for nonfiction which is significantly lower than our initial hypothesis.

So our sample proportion is:
\[P = 0.20\]
And the standard error of our sample percentage is:
\[\sqrt{\frac{ p(1-p) }{ n }} = \sqrt{\frac{ 0.2(1-0.2) }{ 30 }} = \sqrt{\frac{ 0.2(0.8) }{ 30 }}\]
we then simplify to:
\[E _{s} = 0.07\]
now to find the standard score:
\[\frac{ proportional - initial }{ error } = \frac{ 0.20-0.42 }{ 0.07 } = -3.1\]
This means that our sample score is 3.1 standard errors apart from the initial score.

So to compare with a standard z-table, we find that for a standard error of 0.07 and a difference of 3.1 standard errors between the proportional and initial scores, we have a 0.0008 (or 0.08%) probability of Z (20% sample) being less than its value.

And therefore, we can conclude that P-value is 0.0016 and also that the 42% hypothesis is highly probable in this situation.
