In a fishing logde brochure, the lodge advertises that 75% of its guest catch northern pike over 20 pounds. Suppose that last summer 58 out of a random sample of 84 guests did, in fact, catch northen pike weighing over 20 pounds. Does this indicate that the population porportion of guests who catch pike is different from 75% (either higher or lower) ?  Use alpha  equal  0.05 A) state null and alternate hypotheses B) what sampling distribution will you use? C) What is the value of the sample test statistic? Round answer to 2 decimal places D) Find the P-Value to the test statistic? Round to 4 decimal places E) will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level apha?
