Question

29% of workers got their job through networking. A researcher feels this percentage has changed. Express the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form for this claim (enter as a percentage).

Answer 1

Answer:
`H_0:p=0.29`

`H_a: p \\eq0.29`

Explanation:

A null hypothesis
`(H_0)` is a type of statement used in statistics that proposes that there is no difference between particular characteristics of a population whereas the alternative hypothesis
`(H_a)` proposes that there is a difference.

Let p be the population proportion of workers got their job through networking.

Given: 29% of workers got their job through networking.

i.e.
`H_0:p=0.29`

A researcher feels this percentage has changed.

i.e.
`H_a: p \\eq0.29`

Hence, the required null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form for this claim:

`H_0:p=0.29`

`H_a: p \\eq0.29`
