Market research Inc. wants to know if shoppers are sensitive to the prices of items sold in a supermarket. One supermarket owner claims that less than half of his consumers actually know the price of the items they are purchasing. It obtained a random sample of 802 shoppers and found that 378 were able to state the correct price of an item immediately after putting it into their cart. Test at the 7% level whether the owners claim is correct.
