What is th enull and alt. hypothesis? the test statistic? the P-value? What is the conclusion?

In a previous year, 56% of females aged 15 years of age and older lived alone. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different today by conducting a random sample of 700 females aged 15 years
of age and older and finds that 406 are living alone. Is there sufficient evidence at the x = 0.05 level of significance to conclude the proportion has changed?
Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.
O A. Ho: p=0.56
H₁: p=0.56
Ⓒ D. Ho: p *0.56
H₁: p=0.56
Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
Z= (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
OB. Ho: p=0.56
H₁: p<0.56
O E. Ho: p=0.56
H₁: p > 0.56
(...)
OC. Ho: p > 0.56
H₁: p=0.56
OF. Ho: p<0.56
H₁: p=0.56
