Candidate Liu believes he will receive 0.55 of the total votes cast in his riding. However, in an attempt to validate this figure, his
pollster contacts a random sample of 600 registered voters in the riding. The poll results show that 298 of the voters say they are
committed to voting for him. If he actually has 0.55 of the total vote, what is the probability of getting a sample proportion this small or
smaller?

Do you think he actually has 55% of the vote? Why or why not?
This is such an unlikely chance sample result that it would cause the researcher to probably
her claim of 55% of the vote.
