Please provide the information. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. What is your favorite color? A large survey of countries including the United States, China, Russia, France, Turkey, Kenya, and other indicated that most people prefer the color blue. In fact, about 24% of the population claim blue as their favorite color. Suppose a random sample of n = 56 college students was surveyed and r = 12 of them said that blue is their favorite color. Does this information imply that the color preference of all college students is different (either way) from that of the general population? Use $\alpha=0.05$.
