Answer 2

There is enough data to back up the notion that the majority of adults in the United States believe that raising the minimum wage will assist the economy.

How do you test the hypothesis?

$\text{Given}:\\\\n = 1,000\\p= 0.42\\\\\text{To test the hypothesis,}\\H_{0} = 0.50\\H_{1} = P > 0.50\\\\\text{Testing the statistics}\\\\z=\frac{p -p_{o} }{\sqrt{\frac{p_{o}(1-p_{o})}{n} } } \\\\z=\frac{0.42-0.50 }{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{1,000} } } \\\\\\z = \frac{(-0.08)}{0.0016}\\\\z = -50\\\\\text{According to Z-table, the P-value} = P(1z > -50)\\=0.00000$

As a result, there is adequate evidence to support the Alternate hypothesis' claim that the majority of individuals believe change is occurring and the given research question is true.
