Question

Suppose a poll was taken of 1000 randomly selected voters and the results showed that 53% support Congress’ Jobs Creation Bill. You want to test the hypothesis that the majority of likely voters support Congress’ Bill; in other words to test the hypothesis H₀: π ≤ 0.50 versus H₁: π > 0.50. If the p-value is .0575, then at 0.05 level of significance, your conclusion is:

Select one:

There is no evidence that likely voters support Congress’ Jobs Creation Bill.
