Question:

1.39 Surprising suicide data? In Exercise 1.29, of 3112 people who responded, 59.8% or 1862 people, said they would commit suicide if they had an incurable disease.

Suppose that 50% of the entire population shares this view about suicide. If the sample of 3112 people were a random sample, would this sample proportion of 0.598 be surprising? Investigate, using the web app described in Activity 2, setting the samples size to 3112 and the population proportion to 0.5.
