Question

If your null and alternative hypothesis are: H 0 : p = 0.52 H 1 : p < 0.52 Then the test is: left tailed two tailed right tailed

Answer 1

The given hypotheses indicate a left-tailed test. This is because the alternative hypothesis (\(H_1\)) states that the population parameter (\(p\)) is less than the value specified in the null hypothesis (\(H_0\)). In this case, \(H_1: p < 0.52\) suggests looking for evidence of a decrease or shift to the left in the population parameter. Therefore, it is a left-tailed test.
