Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 22% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 26%. Use a 0.01 significance level to test that claim.

Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below.

- **A.** \( H_0: p = 0.26 \)
  \( H_1: p < 0.26 \)

- **B.** \( H_0: p \neq 0.26 \)
  \( H_1: p = 0.26 \)

- **C.** \( H_0: p = 0.26 \)
  \( H_1: p \neq 0.26 \)

- **D.** \( H_0: p = 0.26 \)
  \( H_1: p > 0.26 \)

Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test.

The test statistic for this hypothesis test is [ ].  
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test.

The P-value for this hypothesis test is [ ].  
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test.
