The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 8.8% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 2000 people in a certain city, 11.3% of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a depressive illness is more than the 8.8% in the general adult American population. Test the relevant hypotheses using a 5% level of significance. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. a. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.) H0:    H1:     b. Based on the hypotheses, find the following: c. Test Statistic =   d. p-value =      e. Based on the above we choose to:_____________ f. The correct summary would be: ____________ that the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a depressive illness is more than the percent in the general adult American population of 8.8%.
