An airline promotion to business travelers is based on the assumption that two-thirds of business travelers use a laptop computer on overnight business trips. a. State the hypotheses that can be used to test the assumption. H 0: p Select H a: p Select b. What is the sample proportion from an American Express sponsored survey that found 355 of 546 business travelers use a laptop computer on overnight business trips

Respuesta :

Answer:

a

  The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p = 0.67[/tex]

   The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p \ne 0.67[/tex]

b

 The sample proportion is [tex]\^ p = 0.65[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The sample size is  n =  546  

      The number of people that use a laptop overnight is  [tex]k = 355[/tex]

    The population proportion is  [tex]p = \frac{2}{3} = 0.67[/tex]

   Generally

  The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p = 0.67[/tex]

   The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p \ne 0.67[/tex]

Gnerally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\^ p = \frac{ k}{n}[/tex]

=>     [tex]\^ p = \frac{ 355}{546}[/tex]

=>     [tex]\^ p = 0.65[/tex]
