**Educational Content: Hypothesis Testing in Marketing**In a recent marketing campaign, 100 drinkers of either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi participated in a blind taste test to determine their preferred drink. A Pepsi television commercial claims that "in recent blind taste tests, more than one half of the surveyed preferred Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke." Out of these 100 participants, 42 chose Diet Pepsi. We will test the hypothesis, using a significance level (\(\alpha\)) of 0.05, that more than half of all participants would select Diet Pepsi in a blind taste test.**Tasks:**(a) Calculate the test statistic.(b) Determine the critical z score.**Note:** Use statistical methods to evaluate whether the claim made in the commercial holds true based on the sample data provided.

Given data number of success , x= 42.0 sample size, n = 100 population…
