Answer:

Yes, result is significant ; PVALUE < α

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x = 536

n = sample size = 1012

Phat = x / n = 536 / 1012 = 0.5296 = 0.53

H0 : P0 = 0.5

H1 : P0 > 0.5

Test statistic :

(Phat - P0) ÷ sqrt[(P0(1 - P0)) / n]

1-P0 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

(0.53 - 0.5) ÷ sqrt[(0.5*0.5)/1012]

0.03 ÷ 0.0157173

= 1.9087

Pvalue :

Using the Pvalue from test statistic :

Pvalue = 0.02815

To test if result is significant :

α = 0.05

0.02815 < 0.05

Pvalue < α ; Hence, result is significant at α=0.05; Hence, we reject H0.
