You would like to determine if there is a higher incidence of smoking among women than among men in a neighborhood. Let men and

women be represented by populations 1 and 2, respectively. The relevant hypotheses are constructed as....a) h0: p1-p2 ≥ 0 h1: p1-p2 < 0b) h0: p1-p2≤ 0 h1: p1-p2 > 0

Answer:

For this case we want to test if there is a higher incidence of smoking among women than among men in a neighborhood (alternative hypothesis). And we define p1 for men and p2 for women, so for this case the best system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis:p_1- p_2 \geq 0

Alternative hypothesis: p_1 -p_2

And the best option would be:

a) h0: p1-p2 ≥ 0 h1: p1-p2 < 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".  

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to test if there is a higher incidence of smoking among women than among men in a neighborhood (alternative hypothesis). And we define p1 for men and p2 for women, so for this case the best system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis:p_1- p_2 \geq 0

Alternative hypothesis: p_1 -p_2

And the best option would be:

a) h0: p1-p2 ≥ 0 h1: p1-p2 < 0

If I put this into an equation it would look like 2x+2= 66. 66-2= 64. You do this because to get x you have to reverse the equation, but you have to do the number not connected to x first. Then 2x= 64. So you divide 64 by 2 which is 32. So Jordan is 32 years old. Hope this helped!
