Textbook Question

n Exercises 1–6, the statement represents a claim. Write its complement and state which is H0 and which is Ha.

p ≥ 0.64

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the problem. The claim provided is 'p ≥ 0.64', where 'p' represents the population proportion. This is a hypothesis testing problem, and we need to identify the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (Ha).

Step 2: Recall the definitions of H0 and Ha. The null hypothesis (H0) is a statement of no effect or no difference, and it always includes equality (e.g., '=', '≥', or '≤'). The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is the complement of H0 and represents what we are trying to find evidence for.

Step 3: Write the complement of the claim. The complement of 'p ≥ 0.64' is 'p < 0.64'. This is because the complement of 'greater than or equal to' is 'less than'.

Step 4: Assign H0 and Ha. Since the claim is 'p ≥ 0.64', this will be the null hypothesis (H0). The alternative hypothesis (Ha) will be the complement, which is 'p < 0.64'.

Step 5: Finalize the hypotheses. Write them as follows: H0: p ≥ 0.64 and Ha: p < 0.64. These hypotheses are now ready to be used in a hypothesis testing procedure.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Null Hypothesis (H0)

The null hypothesis (H0) is a statement that indicates no effect or no difference, serving as a default position in statistical testing. In this context, it typically represents the status quo or a claim that a parameter, such as a population proportion, is equal to a specific value. For the given claim 'p ≥ 0.64', the null hypothesis would assert that 'p = 0.64'.

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)

The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is a statement that contradicts the null hypothesis, suggesting that there is an effect or a difference. It represents the claim that researchers aim to support through statistical evidence. In this case, the alternative hypothesis would be 'p < 0.64', indicating that the population proportion is less than 0.64.

Complement of a Statement

The complement of a statement refers to the opposite scenario of the original claim. In hypothesis testing, the complement helps to define the alternative hypothesis. For the claim 'p ≥ 0.64', the complement would be 'p < 0.64', which is essential for determining the alternative hypothesis in this statistical context.

Textbook Question

Hypothesis Testing Using Rejection Regions In Exercises 23–30, (a) identify the claim and state H0 and Ha, (b) find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s), (c) find the standardized test statistic X^2, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume the population is normally distributed.

Salaries The annual salaries (in dollars) of 12 randomly chosen nursing supervisors are shown in the table at the left. At α=0.10, is there enough evidence to reject the claim that the standard deviation of the annual salaries is $18,630?
