Hypothesis Testing: Involving A Population Proportion

A university introduced a new lunch facility on a trial basis and conducted a survey of 750 randomly selected students to determine if it should be made permanent. The university will make the facility permanent if 70% or more of the student body approves. The survey found that 68% of the sampled students approved. To determine if the facility should be permanent, the university must perform a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis that the population proportion who approve is greater than or equal to 70% versus the alternative that it is less than 70%.

Hypothesis Testing involving a population proportion

Example
A medium sized university in the US introduces a new lunch facility on
campus on a trial basis. The university operates the Lunch facility for a few
months and then decides to survey the student body. Based on the survey,
university would make this facility a permanent fixture or do away with it.
Specifically, if more than or equal to 70% of the student body approves of it
then the facility would be made permanent else it would shut down.
The university conducts a survey with 750 randomly selected students on
campus and finds that 510 of these students (or 68% of the sampled
students) approve of the new facility and the remaining 240 students or 32%
students do not approve of it.
Based on the criteria set by University should the facility be made
permanent?
