A salesman for a new manufacturer of cellular phones claims not only that they cost the retailer less but also that the percentage of defective cellular phones found among his products, ( p1 ), will be no higher than the percentage of defectives found in a competitor's line, ( p2 ).  To test this statement, the retailer took a random sample of 90 of the salesman's cellular phones and 110 of the competitor's cellular phones.  The retailer found that 6 of the salesman's cellular phones and 5 of the competitor's cellular phones were defective.  Does the retailer have enough evidence to reject the salesman's claim?  Use a significance level of α=0.01 for the test. Step 1 of 6 :  State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
