9 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
Research showed that in May 2017 62\% of adults over 65 years of age in the UK used a certain online social media platform. Later in 2017 it was believed that this proportion had increased. In December 2017 a random sample of 59 adults over 65 years of age in the UK was collected. It was found that 46 of the 59 adults used this online social media platform. Use a suitable hypothesis test to determine whether there is evidence at the \(1 \%\) level to suggest that the proportion of adults over 65 in the UK who used this online social media platform had increased from May 2017 to December 2017.
