Q:

A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday. The researcher asks 1,000 random selected students if they would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday. Seven hundred students said that they would support the extra holiday.Define the parameter.a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.b. phat = the sample proportion of 700 UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.c. phat = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.d. p = the population proportion of 700 UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The null hypothesis is, {H₀}: p = 0.66, H₀: p = 0.66 .The alternative hypothesis is, {Hₐ}: p > 0.66, Hₐ​: p > 0.66Step-by-step explanation:Let p represent the proportion of students who are supportive of making the day before Thanksgiving a holiday.Since two populations are considered, the alternative hypothesis for the difference of the means of the two populations has to be stated.The proportion of two-third students are supportive of making the day before Thanksgiving a holiday is p = 0.66 obtained as shown below:The null hypothesis is,{H₀}:p = 0.66, H₀​: p = 0.66The alternative hypothesis is,{Hₐ:p > 0.66, Ha​: p > 0.66The null hypothesis is, {H₀}: p = 0.66, H₀: p=0.66 .The alternative hypothesis is, {Hₐ}: p > 0.66, Hₐ​: p > 0.66
