Question
At a nearby college, there is a school-sponsored website that matches people looking for roommates. According to the school's reports, 36% of students will find
a match their first time using the site. A writer for the school newspaper tests this claim by choosing a random sample of 160 students who visited the site
looking for a roommate. Of the students surveyed, 45 said they found a match their first time using the site.
Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to reject the claim that the
proportion, p, of all students who will find a match their first time using the site is 36%.

(d) Based on your answer to part (c), choose what can be concluded, at the 0.10 level of significance, about the claim
made in the school's reports.
O Since the p-value is less than (or equal to) the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected. So, there is
enough evidence to reject the claim that 36% of students will find a match their first time using the site.
O Since the p-value is less than (or equal to) the level of significance, the null hypothesis is not rejected. So, there is
not enough evidence to reject the claim that 36% of students will find a match their first time using the site.
O Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected. So, there is enough
evidence to reject the claim that 36% of students will find a match their first time using the site.
