Answer

The parameter being tested is the \(\boxed{\text{Population proportion}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The null hypothesis (H0) is that the population proportion (p) is equal to 0.7.

Step 2 :The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the population proportion (p) is greater than 0.7.

Step 3 :This suggests that we are conducting a right-tailed test because we are looking for an increase in the population proportion.

Step 4 :The parameter being tested is the population proportion.

Step 5 :The type of test being conducted in this problem is a \(\boxed{\text{Right-tailed test}}\).

Step 6 :The parameter being tested is the \(\boxed{\text{Population proportion}}\).
