The following data is based upon the results from the *Granite State Poll (New Hampshire polling center) made available on October 19th, 2020. The poll asked respondents about how stressed they were on a scale of 1 through 10 (10 being most stressed) regarding certain events in 2020.

In October of 2020, a random sample of 899 New Hampshire residents were asked how stressed they were about the presidential election and 68% of them answered 7 or greater. Use this information to complete the hypothesis test claiming that the proportion of people who had a stress level of 7 or more regarding the presidential election was greater than those who had a stress level of 7 or more regarding the Covid-19 pandemic back in April at the 1% significance level.
