Question

A ketchup company regularly receives large shipments of tomatoes. For each shipment that is received, a supervisor takes a random sample of 500 500500 tomatoes to see what percent of the sample is bruised and performs a significance test. If the sample shows convincing evidence that more than 10 % 10%10, percent of the entire shipment of tomatoes is bruised, then they will request a new shipment of tomatoes. Let p pp represent the proportion of tomatoes in a shipment that are bruised. What are appropriate hypotheses for the company's significance test?

Answer 1

Answer:

$H_o:p=0.1\\\\H_a:p\neq 0.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

-A hypothesis is a claim of evidence and is used in making statistical decisions during experiments/ research.

-Given that 10% of the entire shipment is bruised.

-the null hypothesis states that the proportion is equal to the stated value:

$H_o:p=0.1$

-The alternative  states that the null hypothesis is not correct:

$H_a:p\neq 0.1$
