Suppose a network has decided that “Miniature Golf with the Stars” will only be renewed if it can be established that more than 12% of U.S. adults watch the show. A polling company asks a random sample of 2000 U.S. adults if they watch “Miniature Golf with the Stars.” The network uses the data to perform a test of

H0:p = 0.12
