A magazine editor uses a data informed approach to determine which freelance writers should be offered a more permanent position. They take a pool of recommended freelance writers and determine that at least 80% of their work has been accepted for publication over a 2 year period.
The editor considers 50 candidates for hire. Of the 50 candidates, 3 of them have not been accepted for publication at an acceptable rate. With this data we test the following hypotheses at a 5% significance level:
H0: The proportion of accepted publications of writers being recommended for hire is equal to .8
Ha: The proportion of accepted publications of writers being recommended for hire is less than .8
The p-value is .43. What should the editor conclude?
