Previously,
6​%

of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician believes that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 cigarettes or more is less than
6​%

today. She randomly selects
130

pregnant mothers and finds that
5

of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the​ researcher's statement at the
α=0.05

level of significance.





What are the null and alternative​ hypotheses?

​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

Find the​ P-value.



​P-value=nothing

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

Is there sufficient evidence to support the​ obstetrician's statement?







A.



Yes​,

reject

the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
less

than
α.

There
is

sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy is less than
6​%.







B.



Yes​,

do not reject

the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greater

than
α.

There
is

sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy is less than
6​%.







C.



No​,

reject

the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
less

than
α.

There
is not

sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy is less than
6​%.







D.



No​,

do not reject

the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greater

than
α.

There
is not

sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy is less than
6​%.
