A recent study by the Center for Disease Control claims that a new super-contagious virus will impact a population in which it is found if left unchecked.A recent occurrence of this virus happened on an very isolated island nation with over 30,000 inhabitants.In randomly testing 400 residents of this island after the virus outbreak, a research team found 330 tested positive for having been infected by the virus.

I. Based upon the work above (and assuming requirements of the hypothesis tests are met), is there statistically sufficient evidence in this sample to support the claim that the percentage of a population that will be infected by the virus if left unchecked will be over 80%?Explain your reasoning.
