it has been found that 85.6% of all enrolled college and university students in the U.S. are undergraduates. A random sample of 500 enrolled college students in a particular state revealed that 420 of them were undergraduates. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population differs from the national percentages? Use a = 0.05

If you really want an expert to help you, be sure to follow directions and type your subject in the School Subject box. Any other words, including obscure abbreviations, are likely to delay responses from a teacher who knows that subject well.

This is 1-Proportion Z-Test with p = 420 / 500 = 0.84
Ho: mean proportion = 0.856
Ha: mean proportion ≠ 0.856 [Since we are using ≠ , this is a two-tailed test]
z-statistic = (0.84 - 0.856) / sqrt[ (0.856)(1-0.856) / 500] = -1.019
p-value = (2)P(z < -1.019) = (2)(0.1541) = 0.3082
NOTE: we multiplied by 2 because this is a "two-tailed" test.
Conclusion: Since p-value > 0.05, do NOT reject the null hypothesis. There is significant evidence that the mean proportion of undergraduates is not different from 85.6%
hope that helped
