The manufacturer of a new antidepressant claims that, among all people with depression who use the drug, the proportion p of people who find relief from depression is at least 65%. A random sample of 170 patients who use this new drug is selected, and 100 of them find relief from depression. Based on these data, can we reject the manufacturer's claim at the 0.1 level of significance? State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 Find the z test value Find the p-value Can we reject the claim that the proportion of people who find relief from depression using the new antidepressant is at least  65%? Yes or No?
