6 In a city the proportion of inhabitants from ethnic group \(\mathbf { Z }\) is known to be \(\mathbf { 0 . 4 }\). A sample of \(\mathbf { 1 2 }\) employees of a large company in this city is obtained and it is found that 2 of them are from ethnic group \(Z\). A test is carried out, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, of whether the proportion of employees in this company from ethnic group \(Z\) is less than in the city as a whole.

[0pt] - Carry out the test. [7]
- A manager believes that the company discriminates against ethnic group \(Z\). Explain whether carrying out the test at the 10\% significance level would be more supportive or less supportive of the manager's belief. [2]
