A random sample of 802 shoppers in NoFrills grocery store determined that 418 preferred the PC brand product over the main competitor's product. Test at the 10% level the null hypothesis that at least one half of all shoppers preferred the PC brand item against the alternative that the population proportion is more than 50%.  

  • A.

    The test statistic is 1.19; the p-value is 0.117; and we fail to conclude that the PC brand is preferred to the competitor's brand.

  • B.

    The test statistic is 1.19; the p-value is 0.234; and we fail to conclude that the PC brand is preferred to the competitor's brand.

  • C.

    The test statistic is 1.19; the p-value is 0.117; and we conclude that the PC brand is preferred to the competitor's brand.

  • D.

    The test statistic is 1.44; the p-value is 0.234; and we fail to conclude that the PC brand is preferred to the competitor's brand.
