Complete Question

A newsletter publisher believes that above 41% of their readers own a personal computer. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level to substantiate the publisher's claim?

State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.

Answer:

The null hypothesis is  $H_o : p \le 0.411$

The  alternative hypothesis  is  $H_a : \mu > 0.41$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  proportion is  $p = 0.41$

Generally the null hypothesis is  $H_o : p \le 0.411$

The  above condition represents the  null hypothesis because it contains and equality in its condition

  The  alternative hypothesis  is  $H_a : \mu > 0.41$
