    The document discusses statistical tests for determining if a company's claim about the percentage of blue balloons they produce is accurate. It mentions that the company claims at least 10% of balloons are blue, and a random sample of 200 balloons found 16 to be blue. The most appropriate test to establish if the company needs to change its claim would be a one-tailed z-test of a population proportion, as this can determine if the sample proportion is significantly lower than the claimed 10% proportion.
