Null hypothesis:
Ho: p = .50 -->meaning: population proportion is equal to .50
Alternative hypothesis:
Ha: p > .50 -->meaning: population proportion is greater than .50
Using a formula for a binomial proportion one-sample z-test with your data included, we have:
z = (.55 - .50)/√(.50)(.50)/1003
Once you have the test statistic, you can go from there to draw your conclusions.
