Hi
Ho: p = 0.6 (claim)
Ha: p < 0.4
sample proportion = p-hat = 110/200= .55
---
test stat:: z(0.55) = (0.55-0.6)/sqrt[0.6*0.4/200] = -.05/.0346 = -1.4438
-----
p-value = P(z < -1.4438) = 0.0744 0r 7.44%
---------------------
Conclusion:
Since the p-value is greater than 1%, accept Ho.
The test results support the claim.
