Historically, the percentage of U.S. residents who support stricter gun control laws has been 55%. A recent Gallup Poll of 2500 people showed 1723 in favor of stricter gun control laws . Assume the poll was given to a random sample of people.QUESTION Test the claim that the proportion of those favoring stricter gun control has changed from 0.55. Perform a hypothesis test, using a significance level of 0.01. What are the hypotheses? Null: p=0.55Alternate: p=0.55 Null: p=0.55Alternate: p0.55 Null: p=0.55Alternate: p ≠ 0.55 Historically, the percentage of U.S. residents who support stricter gun control laws has been 55%.

From the provided information, Sample size (n) = 2500 From which 1723 are in favor of stricter gun control laws. Sample proportion (p̂) = 1723/2500 = 0.6892 Level of significance (α) = 0.01The hypotheses are as follow: H0: p = 0.55 H1: p ≠ 0.55 The value of test statistic can be obtained as:The p value of test statistic from the standard normal table is 0.0000. The p value is less than level of significance (0.01). Therefore, the null hypothesis would reject and it can be concluded that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of those favoring stricter gun control has changed from 0.55.
