The reputations (and hence sales) of many businesses can be severely damaged by shipments of manufactured items

Question:

The reputations (and hence sales) of many businesses can be severely damaged by shipments of manufactured items that contain a large percentage of defectives. For example, a manufacturer of alkaline batteries may want to be reasonably certain that less than 5% of its batteries are defective. Suppose 300 batteries are randomly selected from a very large shipment; each is tested and 10 defective batteries are found. Does this LO9 outcome provide sufficient evidence for the manufacturer to conclude that the fraction defective in the entire shipment is less than .05? Use a = .01.
