Analysts claim that the Conservatives are set to win the majority vote. Test at the a = 0.01 significance level that the Conservative party would not win the majority vote, i.e., that if the election were held today, the true proportion of decided voters equals 0.50 against the alternative that the true proportion is less than 0.50.
