Expert Solution

we use concept of testing for the sample proportion based on the value of population proportion and by CLT we assume normality of the distribution.

Depending on the p-value whether it is greater or less than the level of significance alpha (0.05 or 0.01) we reject or accept the null hypothesis and claim whether the proportion who believes that super market brand or national brand are equivalent is less than 62%.
