National data indicates that​ 35% of households own a desktop computer. In a random

sample of 570​ households, 40% owned a desktop computer. Does this provide enough

evidence to show a difference in the proportion of households that own a​ desktop?

Identify the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

A. H0: p= 0.35 Ha​: p ≠ 0.35

B. H0​: p​ = 0.40     Ha​:p​ > 0.40

C. H0​:p​ = 0.35     Ha​:p​ < 0.35

D. H0​:p​ = 0.40     Ha​:p ≠ 0.40

## Q ) National data indicates that​ 35% of households own a desktop computer. In a random

sample of 570​ households, 40% owned a desktop computer. Does this provide enough

evidence to show a difference in the proportion of households that own a​ desktop?

Identify the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer : Here p = 35 % = 0.35 ( Population proportion )

n = sample size is 570 and

40% owned a desktop computer ie p_hat = 0.40 ( sample proportion )

Claim : Does this provide enough evidence to show a difference in the proportion of households that own a​ desktop?

A. H0: p= 0.35 Ha​: p ≠ 0.35

Correct option is A

A random sample of 100 households and collect data on each household’s income. You find a sample income standard deviation of $160,000. You want to test the null hypothesis that the population mean income is $100,000, using a p-value of 0.05, against the alternative that it does not equal $100,000. You will: A. Reject the null hypothesis if the sample mean is $130,000 B. Fail to reject the null hypothesis if the sample mean is between $80,000 and $120,000 C....
