Question

Among college students, the proportion p who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 65%. After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they’re interested in their district’s election results is more than 65%. A poll is commissioned, and 185 out of a random sample of 275 college students say they’re interested in their district’s election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.10 level of significance?
