In a recent study of a random sample of 113 people, 92 reported dreaming in color. In the 1940’s, the proportion of people who reported dreaming in color was 29%. Is there evidence to show that the proportion of people who dream in color is different than the proportion in the 1940’s?

What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?
What is the test statistic?
What is the critical value?
What is the decision?
