Question
**Educational Content on Hypothesis Testing in Medical Malpractice Lawsuits**

In a study of 823 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 477 of them were dropped or dismissed. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.

**Hypothesis Test Selection**

Which of the following is the hypothesis test to be conducted?
- A. \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)
  \( H_1: p > 0.5 \)
- B. \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)
  \( H_1: p \neq 0.5 \)
- C. \( H_0: p = 0.5 \)
  \( H_1: p < 0.5 \)
- D. \( H_0: p > 0.5 \)
  \( H_1: p = 0.5 \)
- E. \( H_0: p < 0.5 \)
  \( H_1: p = 0.5 \)
- F. \( H_0: p \neq 0.5 \)
  \( H_1: p = 0.5 \)

**Test Statistic Calculation**

What is the test statistic?
\[ z = \square \]
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

**P-value Calculation**

What is the P-value?
\[ \text{P-value} = \square \]
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

**Conclusion on Null Hypothesis**

What is the conclusion about the null hypothesis?
- O A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is greater than the significance level, \(\alpha\).
- O B. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is greater than the significance level, \(\alpha\).
- O C. Reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, \(\alpha\).
- O D. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, \(\alpha\).

**Final Conclusion**

What is the final conclusion?
- O A. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
- O B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
- O C
