Question

74% of workers got their job through college. Express the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form for this claim (enter as a decimal WITH a leading zero: example 0.31)

Answer 1

Answer: Null hypothesis = $H_0:p=0.74$

Alternative hypothesis = $H_1:p\neq0.24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given claim : 74% of workers got their job through college.

In proportion , 0.74 of workers got their job through college.

Let p be the proportion of workers got their job through college.

Then claim : $p=0.74$

We know that the null hypothesis always takes equality sign and alternative hypothesis takes just opposite of the null hypothesis.

Thus, Null hypothesis = $H_0:p=0.74$

Alternative hypothesis = $H_1:p\neq0.24$
