Question:
The mother of a teenager has heard a claim that 25% of teenagers who drive and use a cell phone reported texting while driving. She thinks that this rate is too high and wants to test the hypothesis that fewer than 25% of these drivers have texted while driving. Her alternative hypothesis is that the percentage of teenagers who have texted when driving is less than 25%.
H0: p = 0.25
Ha: p < 0.25
She polls 40 randomly selected teenagers, and 5 of them report having texted while driving, a proportion of 0.125. The p-value is 0.034. Explain the meaning of the p-value in the context of this question.
