Question

In the past five years,45% of the tourists who visited Orlando,Florida,went to see local attractions. The city council recently spent a significant amount of money on advertising and promoting visits to area attractions. They are interested in knowing whether the advertising campaign was effective-whether it increased the proportion of tourists visiting local attractions. The proper set of hypotheses is ________. A)H₀: p > 0.45 H₁: p ≤ 0.45 B)H₀: p < 0.45 H₁: p ≥ 0.45 C)H₀: p ≥ 0.45 H₁: p < 0.45 D)H₀: p ≤ 0.45 H₁: p > 0.45

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis (H₀) states that the proportion of tourists visiting local attractions before the advertising campaign is no different than the proportion of tourists visiting local attractions after the advertising campaign. Therefore, p ≤ 0.45 as the advertising campaign is only effective if the proportion of tourists visiting local attractions increases. The alternative hypothesis (H₁) states that the advertising campaign was effective, leading to an increase in the proportion of tourists visiting local attractions. Therefore, p > 0.45. Choice D is the correct answer as it correctly states the null and alternative hypotheses.
