A recent sample of 644 lights found the following restrictions:

a. Specify the competing hypotheses to test whether the recent proportions differ from those cited in the study.

b. At the 5% significance level, find the critical value.

c. Calculate the value of the test statistic.

d. What is the conclusion to the hypothesis test? Interpret your results.
