Podcasting has become yet another platform that Americans turn to for news. According to a new study, about a quarter of U.S. adults (23%) say they get their news regularly from podcasts. Some age groups are more likely than others to get news from podcasts. In particular, are younger adults (ages 18-29) more likely to get their news regularly from podcasts? To determine if this may be the case, a random sample of 260 young US adults was selected, and 78 said they get their news regularly from podcasts.

1. Clearly state the hypotheses to be tested.

2. Which of the following is the correct test statistic?

z = 0.23

t = 0.23

z = 0.30

t = 0.30

z = 2.463

t = 2.463

z = 2.6821

t = 2.6821

3. The resulting p-value is 0.0037. How much evidence do we have against the null hypothesis?

a) Not enough evidence against the null hypothesis.

b) Some evidence against the null hypothesis.

c) Strong evidence against the null hypothesis.

d) Very strong evidence against the null hypothesis.

4. Provide an interpretation of the resulting p-value = 0.0037. Be sure to write the interpretation within the context of the problem. Note: A conclusion that quantifies the support for the alternative hypothesis is not an interpretation of the p-value.
