Alternative Hypothesis:H₁: μ ≠ 0.41

Explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the newscast reaches 41% of the viewing audience in the area

The mean of the Population = 0.41

Given that In a survey of 100 viewers, 36% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

Given that the mean of the sample = 0.36

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis: The sample statistic does not differ significantly from the hypothetical parameter value.

Given data

Null hypothesis: H₀ : μ = 0.41

Alternative Hypothesis: Any hypothesis which is complementary to the Null hypothesis

Alternative Hypothesis:H₁: μ ≠ 0.41
