Question

A crowd-sourced review platform believes that more and more customers are writing reviews online. The crowd-sourced review platform would like to test the claim that the percent of customers who leave a review online is greater than 72%. They decide to complete a hypothesis test at a 1% significance level. They sample 30 customers, and determine the sample percent to be 90%. The following is the data from this study: Sample size =30 customers Sample proportion =0.90 Identify the null and alternative hypothesis for this study by filling in the blanks with the correct symbol (=,≠,<, or > to represent the correct hypothesis.)

Answer 1

H0 : P = 0.72

H1 : P > 0.72

Explanation:

Claim is to test that percentage of customers who leave a review is greater than 72%

From the information given :

P0 = 72/100 = 0.72

The null hypothesis, H0 : P = 0.72

Alternative hypothesis claims the proportion is greater than 0.72 and from the sampling result obtained, phat = 0.90

Hence,

Alternative hypothesis, H1 : P > 0.72
