A friend of yours claims that they are a 75% free-throw

A friend of yours claims that they are a 75% free-throw shooter in basketball. You don't think she is that good and want to test her to gather evidence that she makes less than 75% of her free throws in the long run. You have her shoot 40 free throws and she makes 26 (or 65%) of them. You run your hypothesis test and find a p-value of 0.1150. Which of the following is the best way to state the conclusion? Use x = 0.05. Because your p-value is not small enough, there is not strong evidence that your friend is less than 75% free-throw shooter in the long run. Because the p-value is large, there is strong evidence that your friend is a 75% free-throw shooter in the long run. Because the p-value is small, there is strong evidence that your friend is a 75% free-throw shooter in the long run. Because the p-value is large, there is strong evidence that your friend is a 65% free-throw shooter in the long run.
