Question
### Hypothesis Testing of Candy Colors

#### Scenario:
In a random selection of 100 colored candies, 30% of them are blue. A candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23%. We will use a 0.05 significance level to test this claim.

#### Step 1: Identify Hypotheses
Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses from the options below:

- **A.** \( H_0: p \neq 0.23 \)  
  \( H_1: p = 0.23 \)

- **B.** \( H_0: p = 0.23 \)  
  \( H_1: p \neq 0.23 \)

- **C.** \( H_0: p = 0.23 \)  
  \( H_1: p < 0.23 \)

- **D.** \( H_0: p = 0.23 \)  
  \( H_1: p > 0.23 \)  
  *(Correct Choice)*

#### Step 2: Test Statistic
Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test:
\[ \text{Test statistic} = \boxed{} \]
*(Round to two decimal places)*

#### Step 3: P-Value
Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test:
\[ \text{P-value} = \boxed{} \]
*(Round to three decimal places)*

#### Step 4: Conclusion
Based on the hypotheses, determine the conclusion:

- **A.** Reject \( H_0 \). There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23%.

- **B.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \). There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23%.

- **C.** Reject \( H_0 \). There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23%.

- **D.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \). There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23%.

By following these steps and selecting the appropriate options, you can determine if the evidence supports the candy company's claim.
