A recent study found that 40% of the people in a certain city take public transportation at least once per week. We suspect that the real percentage is less than this. We ask 75 people if they use public transportation weekly and 24 say 'no'. We'd like to know if this is sufficient evidence to suggest that the real percentage of people who take public transportation is less than what was reported. Find the p-value.
