According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) during the 2018-2019 season the percent of Americans 18 and older who had a flu shot was 45.3%. We did a random sample of 500 Americans and found that 200 out of the 500 had a flu shot. Is there enough evidence at the 5% level that 45.3% or less of Americans 18 or older had a flu shot? Based on the p-value, what is the conclusion? a) We reject Ho. There is statistically significant evidence to reject Ho. We conclude the proportion of Americans 18 and older who had a flu shot is less than 40%. b) We do not reject Ho. There is not statistically significant evidence to reject Ho. We conclude the proportion of Americans 18 and older who had a flu shot is not less than 40%. c) We reject Ho. There is statistically significant evidence to reject Ho. We conclude the proportion of Americans 18 and older who had a flu shot is less than 45.3%. d) We do not reject Ho. There is not statistically significant evidence to reject Ho. We conclude the proportion of Americans 18 and older who had a flu shot is not less than 45.3%.
