Math Problem Statement
Spam: A researcher reported that 71.8 of all email sent in a recent month was spam. A system manager at a large corporation believes that the percentage at his company may be 70% . He examines a random sample of 500 emails received at an email server, and finds that 374 of the messages are spam. Can you conclude that the percentage of emails that are spam is greater than 70% ? Use both a=.10 and a=.01 levels of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.
