Question:

A research poll of 1012 adults showed that among those who used fruitcakes, 28% ate them and 72% used them for other purposes, such as doorstops, birdfeed, and landfill. This surprised fruitcake producers, who believe that a fruitcake is an appealing food. The president of the Tombits Food Company claims that the poll results are a fluke and, in reality, half of all adults eat their fruitcakes. Use a 0.01 level of significance to test that claim. Based on the result, does it appear that fruitcake producers should consider changes to make their product more appealing as a food or better suited for its uses as a doorstop, birdfeed, and so on?
Test the given claim, and draw the appropriate graph. Use the traditional method or the P-value method of testing hypotheses (or your instructor may specify which method to use with assigned exercises). Assume that all samples have been randomly selected.
