12 A survey conducted in 2021 showed that 10\% of British adults were vegetarians. A dietitian believes that the proportion of British adults who are vegetarians may have changed, so decides to conduct a hypothesis test at the \(5 \%\) level of significance. In a random sample of 112 adults, the dietitian finds that there are 19 vegetarians. Carry out the hypothesis test to determine whether there is any evidence to support the dietitian’s belief.
