------
Ho: p >= 0.3
Ha: p < 0.3 (claim)
-------------------
sample proportion:: p-hat = 125/450 = 0.28
test statistic:: z(0.28) = (0.28-0.30)/sqrt[0.3*0.7/450] = -0.9258
---------
p-value = p(z < -0.9258) = normalcdf(-100,-0.9258) = 0.1773
=====
Since the p-value is greater than 5%, fail to reject Ho.
Conclusion:: The test results do not support the claim
that less than 30% of shoppers favor longer hours.
