Generating from H0

Imagine that when reading the newspaper, you come across someone who makes the following claim: "3/4 of all Americans believe in life after death". This can be interpreted as a point null hypothesis that the population proportion has a value of 0.75.

Use this hypothesis to generate a single dataset to explore.
