A college claims that the proportion, p, of students who commute more than fifteen miles to school is less than 15%. A researcher wants to test this. A random sample of 265 students at this college is selected, and it is found that 34 commute more than fifteen miles to school. Is there enough evidence to support the college’s claim at the 0.10 level of significance?

Is there enough evidence to support the college’s claim at the 0.10 level of significance?
Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
a.) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1.
b.) Determine the type of test statistic to use (Z, t (with t, degrees of freedom is needed), Chi-Square, or F).
c.) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
d.) Find the critical value. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
e.) Is there enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of students who commute more than fifteen miles to school is less than 15%?

college's claim at the 0.10 level of significance?
Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
(a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁.
Ho :O
H₁ :0
(b) Determine the type of test statistic to use.
(Choose one) ▼
(c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
(d) Find the ritical value. (Round to three or
0
decimal places.)
(e) Is there enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of students
who commute more than fifteen miles to school is less than 15%?
