help please! 

A new method of HIV testing has been proposed based on a new quick detection procedure where saliva is examined. Suppose that the new method tests 176 HIV positive persons and falsely categorizes (i.e., return negative results) 25 of them. Assuming the current best standard of practice for saliva based quick detection HIV tests has a false negative rate of only 10%, determine if the accuracy of the two tests are significantly different at 95% confidence level. Assume that we can use a z-test. Let ?=False negative rate of new test  

If the p-value is 0.02, what is your conclusion

answer choices

P-value is less than α, thus fail to reject H_0

P-value is greater than α, thus fail to reject H_0

P-value is less than α, thus reject H_0

P-value is greater than α, thus reject H_0
