Use those results with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that fewer than half of Americans prefer to watch the news rather than read or listen. Use the p value method. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution

identify the null and alternative hypothesis

identify the test statistic

identify the p value

state a conclusion about he null hypothesis

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
