Members of the city council want to know if a majority of city residents supports a 1% increase in the sales tax to fund road repairs. To investigate, they survey a random sample of 300 city residents and use the results to test the following hypotheses:0::=0.50>0.50

where is the proportion of all city residents who support a 1% increase in the sales tax to fund road repairs.

Given that -value = 0.18, which of the following would be the most appropriate conclusion?

A. Because the -value is large, we fail to reject 0. We have convincing evidence that more than 50% of city residents support the tax increase.

B. Because the -value is large, we reject 0. We have convincing evidence that at most 50% of city residents support the tax increase.

C. Because the -value is large, we fail to reject 0. We do not have convincing evidence that more than 50% of city residents support the tax increase.

D. Because the -value is large, we reject 0. We have convincing evidence that at most 50% of city residents support the tax increase.
