Question
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 25 commute more than fifteen miles to school. 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.

Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

**(a)** State the null hypothesis \( H_0 \) and the alternative hypothesis \( H_1 \).

- \( H_0: \)
- \( H_1: \)

**(b)** Determine the type of test statistic to use.

- (Choose one) [dropdown menu]

**(c)** Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.)

- [Input field]

**(d)** Find the p-value. (Round to three or more decimal places.)

- [Input field]

**(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%?

- [Options: Yes, No]

**Equation Tool:** A tool is provided with symbols and mathematical notations to assist in formulating hypotheses and calculating statistics.
