Question
In a study of 819 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 473 of them were dropped or dismissed. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.

Which of the following is the hypothesis test to be conducted?

- **A.** \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)  
   \( H_1: p > 0.5 \)

- **B.** \( H_0: p \neq 0.5 \)  
   \( H_1: p = 0.5 \)

- **C.** \( H_0: p < 0.5 \)  
   \( H_1: p = 0.5 \)

- **D.** \( H_0: p > 0.5 \)  
   \( H_1: p = 0.5 \)

- **E.** \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)  
   \( H_1: p \neq 0.5 \)

- **F.** \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)  
   \( H_1: p < 0.5 \)

What is the test statistic?

\( z = \) [ ]  
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

What is the P-value?

P-value = [ ]  
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

**What is the conclusion about the null hypothesis?**

- **A.** Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is greater than the significance level, α.
- **B.** Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, α.
- **C.** Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is greater than the significance level, α.
- **D.** Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, α.

**What is the final conclusion?**

- **A.** There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
- **B.** There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
- **C.** There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
- **D.** There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
