Answer:

C. Yes, and it is highly probable.

Explanation:

Null hypothesis, $H_0$ : ц 0.09

Alternative hypothesis, $H_1$ : ц > 0.09

Test statistic is,

x Z = x - ц / s

$\frac{0.15 - 0.09 }{0.06}$

$\frac{0.06}{0.06}$

=1

The p-value is,

p = P(Z > z)

=1—P(Z ≤1)

= 1— 0.841345

= 0.158655

(From normal tables)

The p-value is greater than the significance level, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis. The correct option is, C

Yes, and it is highly probable.
