Assignment 2: Hypothesis Testing
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that the prevalence of hypertension (high blood pressure) among older adults is 60% (0.60). A study was conducted in Kentucky to assess the prevalence of hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension among older adults are shown in the table below:

Number of adults with hypertension
690
448
Conduct a test of hypothesis at 5% significance level to show whether the prevalence of hypertension among the older adults in Kentucky is greater or less to the NIH findings. ( Note: The alternative hypothesis (H1: μ0 ≠ 0.60). It may be greater (>) or less (
