I would appreciate any help, thank you.

A high school principal wanted to know if the racial makeup of her teachers mirrored that of the student body. The student body broke down into 47% White, 28% Latino, 15% African American, and 10% other. Of the 65 teachers, 42 were White, 4 were Latino, 15 were African American, and 4 were Other. Do these results suggest that the racial makeup of the faculty members is different from that of the students? (Use the .05 significance level.)
   Use the five steps of hypothesis testing and explain your findings.

1) Research Question: Is the racial makeup of the faculty members different from that of the students?

2) Null hypothesis: = 100%
Alternative Hypothesis: NE 100%, alpha = .05
3) Calculate:
Total teachers = 65

So, % White = (42/65)*100 = 65%
% Latino = (4/65)*100 = 6%
% African American = (15/65)*100 = 23%
% Other = (4/65)*100 = 6%

For a total of 100%

4) Probability: 100%, all teachers reported, and student numbers are given

5) Conclusion

Now, line up the numbers

Results:

White: Student % = 47%, Teacher % = 65%
Latino: Student % = 28%, Teacher % = 6%
African American: Student % = 15%, Teacher %= 23%
Other: Student % = 10, Teacher % = 6%

The racial makeup of the staff does not mirror that of the students
