Question

In the past, 30% of a country club's members brought guests to play golf sometime during the year. Last year, the club initiated a new program designed to encourage members to bring more guests to play golf. In a sample of 95 members, 34 brought guests to play golf after the program was initiated. When testing the hypothesis that the new program has increased the proportion of members bringing out guests (using a 5% level of significance), what is the null and alternative hypothesis

Answer 1

Answer:

The null hypothesis, H₀: p = 0.3

The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ: p ≠ 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis, H₀, in inferential statistics is the default hypothesis that the measured quantity is zero or null and therefore there is no difference between the population characteristic measured, when the quantity measured is the difference between two situations

Therefore, the null hypothesis, H₀: p = 0.3

The alternative hypothesis is usually the opposite of the null hypothesis, therefore, the alternative hypothesis Hₐ is given as follows;

The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ: p ≠ 0.3
