Expert Solution
Step 1 : Introduction and given information.

Here you are given that claim Most adults would not erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 609 randomly selected adults showed that 49.3% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could.

From the above information , 

Sample size , n = 609.

Sample proportion , p' = 49.3% ( in decimal form it is 0.493).

 

 

Step 2 : Hypotheses information.

Claim : Most adults would not erase all of their personal information online.

The null and alternative hypotheses can be written as , 

Ho :  p = 0.5.

Ha :  p > 0.5.

Since we have greater than sign in alternative hypotheses so it is Right tailed test.

We have to perform for one sample proportion here.
