Suppose we would like to test the claim that more than 75% ( > 75%) of Canadians are willing to receive a vaccine for COVID-19 once a vaccine is found. (We are assuming that the threshold for herd immunity is 75%.) We randomly select n = 1500 Canadians and find that x = 1175 of these individuals say “yes”. Calculate the P-value for this sample. Round to four decimal places.
