Question

A small restaurant owner believes no more than 36% of his customers travel over 10 miles to his business.He is interested in expanding his customer base through marketing.However, he would like to test his hypothesis prior to investing money in a marketing initiative.He intends to use the following null and alternative hypotheses. H_o: p $\le$0.36 H_a: p > 0.36 These hypotheses _______________. A)indicate a one-tailed test with a rejection area in the right tail B)indicate a one-tailed test with a rejection area in the left tail C)indicate a two-tailed test D)are established incorrectly E)are not mutually exclusive

The null hypothesis states that the proportion (p) of customers traveling over 10 miles is less than or equal to 36% (p ≤ 0.36), and the alternative hypothesis states that the proportion is greater than 36% (p > 0.36). This setup indicates a one-tailed test where the rejection area is in the right tail, as we are testing for values of p that are greater than 0.36.
