The mayor of a town wants to propose a plan for the annexation of a new community. The mayor would like to know if the majority of the residents favor the annexation before calling a formal referendum on the topic. A research company was hired to survey a sample of residents to determine their views on the annexation. The researchers randomly selected 850 residents and found that 50.8% favored the annexation. Determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority of residents favor the annexation of the new community at the 1% level of significance. Step 5 of 5: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
