About three-fourths of voting age Americans are registered to vote, but many do not bother to vote

Question:

About three-fourths of voting age Americans are registered to vote, but many do not bother to vote on Election Day. Only 64% voted in 1992, and 60% in 2000, but turnout in off-year elections is even lower. An article in Time stated that 35% of adult Americans are registered voters who always vote. To test this claim, a random sample of n = 300 adult Americans was selected and x = 123 were registered regular voters who always voted. Does this sample provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the percentage of adults who say that they always vote is different from the percentage reported in Time? Test using α = .01.
