Every July, as part of a research project, Rita collects data about sightings of a particular kind of bird. Each day in July she notes whether she sees this kind of bird or not, and she records the number X of days on which she sees it. She models the distribution of X by B(31, p), where p is the probability of seeing this kind of bird on a randomly chosen day in July. Data from previous years suggests that p = 0.3, but in 2022 Rita suspected that the value of p had been reduced. She decided to carry out a hypothesis test. In July 2022, she saw this kind of bird on 4 days.
