The null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form are

H₀: p = 0.62

H₁: p > 0.62

Expressing the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form

The null and alternative hypotheses can be expressed as

  • Null hypothesis: The percentage of workers who got their job through newspaper ads is 62%.
  • Alternative hypothesis: The percentage of workers who got their job through newspaper ads is greater than 62%.

In symbolic form, this can be written as:

H₀: p = 0.62

H₁: p > 0.62

Where p represents the percentage of workers who got their job through newspaper ads.
