Problem 3

A researcher claims that the proportion of defective items produced by a machine is 0.120.12. In a random sample of 2020 items, 55 are found to be defective. Using the exact binomial method, what is the P-value for testing the alternative hypothesis Ha:p>0.12H_{a}:p>0.12? Use a significance level of 0.050.05.
