1. The evidence against the null and in favor of the alternative is very strong

2. Across nine European countries in a large-scale survey, people had a hard time identifying signs of a stroke or heart attack. The survey included 10,228 inhabitants of Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Participants' ages ranged from 14 to 98. Of those surveyed, less than half (4910) linked arm or shoulder pain to heart attacks. Use StatKey and the prebuilt data set Knowheartattacksymptom to find and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the symptom of a heart attack. Can we be 98% confident that the proportion is less than half? (5pts)
