Question

Which of the following is an appropriate hypothesis?
A) H₀: p = 2 versus Ha: p > 2 
B) H₀: = 0.25 versus Ha: > 0.25 
C) H₀: p = 0.17 versus Ha: p ≠ 0.17 
D) H₀: μ = 0.17 versus Ha: p < 0.17

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A and B are not appropriate hypotheses as they involve numerical values that are unclear or not relevant to the given context. D is also inappropriate as it compares a mean (μ) to a probability (p). C is appropriate as it compares a population proportion (p) to a specific value (0.17) and allows for the possibility of difference in either direction.
