Can test a hypothesis only with nomialonly nominal variables?

I have a hypothesis such as "People consult internet before making a purchase decision" for a thesis research. In order to test it, I created a game where people had the option to consult "internet option" or not. I have a similar questions, but I have now realised that all my variables for this particular point isare nominal; (the answers look 0: did not consult internet, 1: consulted internet)

However, I can't calculate a mean or do any of the tests like $t$-test, anova since it doesn't make sense.

I was wondering academically, my results would be enough to confirm (not cannot reject) that people consult internet if I have 80% of the same that consulted internet? Several different questions show similar results.

Thank you for your help (and sorry if my question is a bit stupid, i'm new to this).
