Answer:

The answer is "At the 0,10 level, there should be enough proof that the percentage is below 49%"

Explanation:

Null and alternative hypothesis:


H_0 :P \geq 0.49\\\\H_1:P<0.49 \ \ (\text{Left tailed test})\\\\

Significance level:
\alpha = 0.10

It is decided that the null hypothesis at the defined meaning level is rejected.
