Of the 600 respondents, 56% said "wrong direction." Is this sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority of U.S. adults think things in this country are heading in the wrong direction? Answer this question by carrying out an appropriate hypothesis test using level ofsignificance α = 0.05. Be sure to perform the usual 5 steps to hypothesis testing.
