PLEASE HELP FAST!! IT IS URGENT!!

A school guidance counselor is concerned that a greater proportion of high school students are working part-time jobs during the school year than a decade ago. A decade ago, 28% of high school students worked a part-time job during the school year. To investigate whether the proportion is greater today, a random sample of 80 high school students is selected. It is discovered that 37.5% of them work part-time jobs during the school year. The guidance counselor would like to know if the data provide convincing evidence that the true proportion of all high school students who work a part- time job during the school year is greater than 0.28. The guidance counselor tests the hypotheses H0: P = 0.28 versus Ha: p > 0.28, where p = the true proportion of all high school students who work a part-time job during the school year. The conditions for inference are met. The standardized test statistic is z = 1.89 and the P-value is 0.0294. What conclusion should be made using the a = 0.05 significance level?
O Because the P-value is less than a = 0.05, there is convincing evidence that the true proportion of all high school students who work a part-time job during the school year is greater than 0.28.
Because the P-value is less than a 0.05, there is not convincing evidence that the true proportion of all high school students who work a part-time job during the school year is greater than 0.28.
O Because the P-value is less than a = 0.05, there is convincing evidence that the proportion of high school students in this sample who work a part-time job during the school year is greater than 0.28.
O Because the P-value is less than a = 0,05, there is not convincing evidence that the proportion of high school students in this sample who work a part-time job during the school year is greater than 0.28.​

Answer:

The correct answer is: Because the P-value is less than a = 0.05, there is convincing evidence that the true proportion of all high school students who work a part-time job during the school year is greater than 0.28.
