Using the information above, choose the correct conclusion for this hypothesis test.
- $H_{0}: p=0.15 ; H_{a}: p> 0.15$
- The $p$-value for this hypothesis test is 0.002 .
- The level of significance is $\alpha=0.025$

Step 1 ：The null hypothesis $H_{0}$ states that the population proportion $p$ is equal to 0.15.

Step 2 ：The alternative hypothesis $H_{a}$ states that the population proportion $p$ is greater than 0.15.

Step 3 ：The $p$-value is the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as, or more extreme than, the observed data, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.

Step 4 ：If the $p$-value is less than the level of significance $\alpha$, we reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

Step 5 ：In this case, the $p$-value is 0.002, which is less than the level of significance $\alpha=0.025$.

Step 6 ：Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

Step 7 ：Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{Reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis}}\)
