The article Public Acceptability in the UK and the USA of Nudging to Reduce Obesity: The Example

Question:

The article “Public Acceptability in the UK and the USA of Nudging to Reduce Obesity: The Example of Reducing Sugar-Sweetened Beverages” (PLOS One, June 8, 2016) describes a survey in which each person in a representative sample of 1082 adult Americans was asked about whether they would find different types of interventions acceptable to reduce consumption of sugary beverages. When asked about a tax on sugary beverages, 459 of the people in the sample said they thought that this would be an acceptable intervention. These data were used to test H0: p = 0.5 versus Ha: p > 0.5 and the null hypothesis was rejected. Based on the hypothesis test, what can you conclude about the proportion of adult Americans who think that taxing sugary beverages is an acceptable intervention to reduce consumption of sugary beverages?
