A graduate student conducted an experiment in which 23 ten-month-old babies were asked to watch a climber character attempt to ascend a hill. On two​ occasions, the baby witnesses the character fail to make the climb. On the third​ attempt, the baby witnesses either a helper toy push the character up the hill or a hinderer toy prevent the character from making the ascent. The helper and hinderer toys were shown to each baby in a random fashion for a fixed amount of time. The baby was then placed in front of each toy and allowed to choose which toy he or she wished to play with. In 20 of the 23 cases, the baby chose the helper toy. Use the binomial probability formula to determine the​ P-value for this test.
