I read a claim that 40% of Americans struggle to afford at least one basic need for housing, healthcare, utilities, or food. A Math 146 student hopes this proportion is lower for Bellingham Technical College students.
Part A) what are null and alternate hypotheses?
Part B) the student conducts a random survey of 56 fellow students at BTC which returns a sample proportion of 38% who cannon afford basic needs. Test the claim 5% significance leve. State all reasoning, steps, values and interpretations needed for the test.
Part C) Should we accept or reject the null hypotheses? state the conclusion of this study with respect to the claim in clear simple language.
