Suppose a poll is taken that shows that 795795 out of 15001500 randomly selected, independent people believe the rich should pay more taxes than they do. test the hypothesis that a majority (more than 50%) believe the rich should pay more taxes than they do. use a significance level of 0.05.

Yes. more than 50% is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a poll is taken that shows that 795 out of 1500 randomly selected, independent people believe the rich should pay more taxes than they do.

Sample proportion p =

Sample size n = 1500

Hypotheses would be

(Right tailed test at 5% significance level)

Std error of proportion =

Proportion difference = p-P =

Test statistic= p diff/std error =

p value <0.05

Hence reject null hypothesis

There is significant difference in the two proportions and hence  a majority (more than 50%) believe the rich should pay more taxes than they do is supported by statistical evidence.
