Question

Assume a significance level of alpha equals 0.05 and use the given information to complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. Original​ claim: More than 47​% of adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. The hypothesis test results in a​ P-value of 0.0433.

Required:
a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis.​
b. Without using technical terms or symbols, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Answer 1

Explanation:

a. A conclusion with regards to the null hypothesis is this:

Since the p value observed which is 0.0433 is less than the alpha level of significant 0.05, we can reject the null hypothesis.

b. A final conclusion that addresses the original claim is this:

Since we rejected the null hypothesis, it means it means there was enough statistical evidence to support the claim that more than 47​% of adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could.
