According to the Community College Research Center at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York, 32% of community college students work full-time (full-time defined to be a person working 35 or more hours per week). Bryanna believes that this percentage may be higher among CBC students, so she decides to take a survey of CBC students to determine if her hypothesis is correct or not.

Required:
What is an appropriate formal hypothesis statement for Bryanna's study?

Respuesta :

According to her study, we have that:

  • The null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: p = 0.32[/tex]
  • The alternative hypothesis is: [tex]H_1: p > 0.32[/tex]

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the CBC's students proportion is the same as all community college students, that is, of 32%, hence:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.32[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion for CBC's students is greater than 32%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.32[/tex]
