A manufacturer claims that fewer than 6% of its fax machines are defective. In a random sample of 97 such fax machines, 5% are defective. Find the P-value for a test of the manufacturer's claim.

\n" ); document.write( "Ha: p < 0.06 (claim)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "p-hat = 0.05

\n" ); document.write( "z(0.05) = (0.05-0.06)/sqrt(.06*0.94/97) = -0.4147
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "P-value is P(z < -0.4147) = 0.3392
