Alma has developed a new kind of antibiotic that she expects to kill $90\%$ of harmful bacteria when applied. She applied her antibiotic to a Petri dish full of bacteria, waited for it to take effect, and took a random sample of $100$ bacteria. She found that $84\%$ of them were dead.
Let's test the hypothesis that **the actual percentage of dead bacteria is $90\%$** versus the alternative that the actual percentage is *lower* than that.
The table below sums up the results of $1000$ simulations, each simulating a sample of $100$ bacteria, assuming there are $90\%$ dead bacteria.
**According to the simulations, what is the probability of getting a sample with $84\%$ dead bacteria or less?**
$\qquad$[[☃ math-keypad 1]]
Let's agree that if the observed outcome has a probability *less* than $1\%$ under the tested hypothesis, we will reject the hypothesis.
**What should we conclude regarding the hypothesis?**
