Consumers with credit scores below 600 have a very difficult time getting approved for car or mortgage loans. Historically 18% of people had a credit score below 600. Due to the recent financial crisis, the federal government is concerned that this proportion has increased. To test this hypothesis, a random sample of 200 people was chosen. From this sample, 44 people had credit scores less than 600. Using a = 0.05, complete parts a and b below. a. Does this sample provide support for the government's concern that the proportion of people with credit scores below 600 has increased? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. OA. Ho: p>0.18 H: p0.18 OC. Ho p=0.18 H: p 0.18 Determine the critical value(s) of the test statistic. Z = OB. Ho: p0.18 H: p>0.18 O D. Ho: p0.18 H: p <0.18 (Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Round to three decimal places as needed.) Calculate the test statistic. Zp=(Round to two decimal places as needed.) Determine the proper conclusion. Choose the correct answer below. OA. Do not reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence that the proportion of people with credit scores below 600 has increased. B. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence that the proportion of people with credit scores below 600 has increased. OC. Reject Ho. There is insufficient evidence that the proportion of people with credit scores below 600 has increased. OD. Do not reject Ho. There is insufficient evidence that the proportion of people with credit scores below 600 has increased. b. Determine the p-value for this test. p-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
