3 A factory owner models the number of employees who use the factory canteen on any day by the distribution \(\mathrm { B } ( 25 , p )\). In the past the value of \(p\) was 0.8 . A new menu is introduced in the canteen and the owner wants to test whether the value of \(p\) has increased. On a randomly chosen day he notes that the number of employees who use the canteen is 23 .
