campus newspaper editorial claims that at least 75 percent of the students favor traditional course grades rather than a pass/fail option. To gain information, a dean randomly sampled 50 students and learned that 32 of them favor traditional grades. Are these data consistent with the claim made in the editorial? Use the 5 percent level of significance
