Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct symbol ( $( \mu , \rho , \sigma )$ for the indicated parameter. A psychologist claims that more than 5.8 percent of the population suffers from Professional problems due to extreme shyness. Use p, the true percentage of the population that suffers from Extreme shyness. A) $H _ { 0 } : p = 5.8 \%$ $H _ { 1 } : p \leq 5.8 \%$ B) $H _ { 0 } : p = 5.8 \%$ $H _ { 1 } : p 5.8 \%$ D) $H _ { 0 } : p = 5.8 \%$ $H _ { 1 } : p \geq 5.8 \%$

$H _ { 1 } : p \leq 5.8 \%$

B) $H _ { 0 } : p = 5.8 \%$
$H _ { 1 } : p < 5.8 \%$

C) $H _ { 0 } : p = 5.8 \%$
$H _ { 1 } : p > 5.8 \%$

D) $H _ { 0 } : p = 5.8 \%$
$H _ { 1 } : p \geq 5.8 \%$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis is that the true percentage of the population that suffers from extreme shyness is 5.8%. The alternative hypothesis is that the true percentage is greater than 5.8%. This is the only choice that reflects the psychologist's claim that more than 5.8% of the population suffers from extreme shyness.
