D. What is the proportion? E. What is the test statistic?

Problem 1: Background Information: The General Social Survey (GSS) has been collecting demographic, behavioral, and attitudinal information since 1972 to monitor changes within the US and to compare the US to other nations. Sample data, collected from random samples of US adults, show support for capital punishment (the death penalty) in 1974 and in 2018 in the two-way table below. Year Favor Oppose Total 1974 933 471 1404 2018 1385 808 2193 The question of interest is: Does this data provide evidence that the proportion of all US adults supporting capital punishment was greater in 1974 than in 2018? a) (2 points) Define the parameter of interest for this study. Use proper notation. b) (2 points) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Use proper notation. Ho: Ho: c) (3 points) Calculate the best point estimate for the parameter used in this hypothesis test. Use proper notation, show your work, and round your answer to 3 decimal places
