According to an exit poll for an election,54.8 % of the sample size of 831 reported voting for a specific candidate. Is this enough evidence to predict who won? Test that the population proportion who voted for this candidate was 0.50 against the alternative that it differed from 0.50. Report the test statistic and P-value and interpret the latter.

Suppose that last summer 65 out of a random sample of 78 guests did, in fact, catch northern pike weighing over 20 pounds. Does this indicate that the population proportion of guests who catch pike over 20 pounds is different from 75% (either higher or lower)?
