A total of 248 viewers agreed with the statement. (Note: the survey respondents were contacted vial e-mail on the Internte).

a. Identify the population parameter of interest in the survey

b. Give a point estimate of the population parameter

c. Set up H0 and Ha for testing whether the true percentage of TV viewers who find cable news to be better quality than network news differs from 50%.

d. Conduct the test, part c, using α = .10 Make the appropriate conclusion in the words of the problem.
