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  $H_o : p \le 0.41$

The  alternative hypothesis  $H_1 : p> 0.41$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The population proportion is $p = 0.41$

        The level of significance is  $\alpha = 0.10$

The null hypothesis is  $H_o : p \le 0.41$

The  alternative hypothesis  $H_1 : p> 0.41$
