Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that \( 30 \% \) of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day. A sample of 76 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 10 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3 . You use a significance level of \( \alpha=0.002 \). What is the test statistic for this sample? Use \( \hat{p} \) rounded to 4 decimal places. (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.) test statistic \( =-3.198^{\circ} \times \)
