SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.

57) A method currently used by doctors to screen women for possible breast cancer fails to 57)
detect cancer in 15% of women who actually have the disease. A new method has been

sample of 80 women known to have breast cancer were screened using the new method.
Of these, the new method failed to detect cancer in 9. Calculate the test statistic used by the
researchers for the corresponding test of hypothesis.
