In a clinical trial of a drug intended to help people stop​ smoking, 126 subjects were treated with the drug for 13 ​weeks, and 12 subjects experienced abdominal pain. If someone claims that more than 8​% of the​ drug's users experience abdominal​ pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.18 as an alternative value of​ p, the power of the test is 0.95. Interpret this value of the power of the test.
