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\\eq0.24`

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\\eq0.24`
