The CDC estimated that 17% of women who have recently given birth suffer from PPD. However, this research only reflected self-reported cases. Therefore, one group dedicated to helping women and their families with PPD believes that the true percentage of women who suffer from PPD is much higher. The group conducts a simple random sample of 98 women who had given birth in the last year and discovers that 26 of them report having PPD. Based on this evidence, can the group claim that the true percentage of women who have PPD is greater than 17 % ? Use a 0.02 level of significance.
