Question
In a study of 787 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 482 of them were dropped or dismissed. Test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.

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

- A. \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)  
  \( H_a: p > 0.5 \) (Correct answer)

- B. \( H_0: p < 0.5 \)  
  \( H_a: p = 0.5 \)
  
- C. \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)  
  \( H_a: p \neq 0.5 \)
  
- D. \( H_0: p \geq 0.5 \)  
  \( H_a: p = 0.5 \)
  
- E. \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)  
  \( H_a: p < 0.5 \)
  
- F. \( H_0: p \neq 0.5 \)  
  \( H_a: p = 0.5 \)

**What is the test statistic?**

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