PepsiCo’s response included a new “Smart Spot” symbol on its products that meet certain nutrition criteria, to help consumers who seek more healthful eating options. At α = .05, would a follow-up survey showing that 18 of 100 persons now rate Pepsi as being “concerned with my ealth” prove that the percentage has increased?

In a recent survey, 10 percent of the participants rated Pepsi as being “concerned with my health.”
---------
PepsiCo’s response included a new “Smart Spot” symbol on its products that meet certain nutrition criteria, to help consumers who seek more healthful eating options.
At α = .05, would a follow-up survey showing that 18 of 100 persons now rate Pepsi as being “concerned with my earth” prove that the percentage has increased?
------
Ho: p = 10%
Ha: p > 0.10
-------------------
sample proportion: 18/100 = 0.18
-----
z(0.18) = (0.18-0.10)/sqrt(0.10*0.90/100) = 2.67
p-value = P(z > 2.67) = 0.0038
----
Conclusion: Since the p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
The test results support increasing the percentage.
