Hypothesis Test for a Population Proportion:

A recent study at a local college claimed that the proportion of students who commute more than fifteen miles to school is no more than 25%. If a random sample of 255 students at this college is selected, and it is found that 76 commute more than fifteen miles to school, can we reject the college's claim at the 0.1 level of significance?
